“Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but
it’s something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy
crumbles.” – Abbie Hoffman

Angela’s note: Can you help distribute our election leaflets
<http://www.cleanairalliance.org/files/Election_2011_final.pdf>  or attend
all-candidate forums to raise nuke issues? Both the Liberals and
Conservatives are committed to massive new nuclear projects. Let them know
this matters to you! Please order
<http://www.cleanairalliance.org/get_involved_order_pamphlets>  leaflets
and/or contact me <mailto:angela at cleanairalliance.org> ! Thanks

Nuclear Material Sent Overseas Remains Unaccounted For
<http://www.utilityproducts.com/news/2011/09/1502010198/gao-report-nuclear-m
aterial-sent-overseas-remains-unaccounted-for.html>  – A new report has
found the U.S. government cannot account for nearly three tons of nuclear
material it has shipped overseas. According to the Government Accountability
Office, the United States cannot confirm the whereabouts of some 5,900
pounds of highly enriched uranium and separated plutonium, enough material
to make dozens of nuclear weapons. The United States relies on foreign
nations to track the material once it is shipped overseas, but according to
the GAO, nearly half of the international sites mandated to hold the
dangerous material fail to meet International Atomic Energy Agency security
guidelines.
