Action Alert: Uranium Mining Vote Too Close To Call! – call and email all VA GA

THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2013
The vote to open Virginia to uranium mining may well come down to your Delegate’s or Senator’s vote!

After millions of study and uranium industry lobby dollars have been spent, we are finally approaching the day when your Delegate and Senator will cast a vote to keep Virginia’s uranium mining ban in place or open up our state to the many unknown consequences of such an action.

In announcing their opposition, the Danville-Pittsylvania Chamber of Commerce said, “While considering possible economic benefits of such an industry, the board still has significant concerns surrounding the potential impact of uranium mining and milling on existing businesses and the region’s ability to attract, retain and grow jobs.”

The Chamber joined the Virginia Municipal League, the Virginia Association of Counties, the Virginia Farm Bureau, the Fairfax and Fauquier Water Authorities and individual Counties and Cities from Norfolk and Virginia Beach to Patrick and Floyd to Roanoke and Rappahannock in strongly encouraging our representatives to keep Virginia’s ban on uranium mining.

Please join all of these individuals and groups, rural and urban, Democrat and Republican in asking your Delegate and Senator to vote “No” to opening up our state to uranium mining.

The unanswered questions are too numerous and the consequences of such an experiment in our weather-prone state far outweigh the potential benefits.

Please email your representatives today! Click here to send to rep: http://valcv.e-actionmax.com/takeaction.asp?aaid=6771
