Can one person make a difference? Ask Ben Davis:
California’s Secretary of State approved a ballot initiative November 18 that seeks the closure of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station and the Diablo Canyon plant.
The initiative was filed by Ben Davis Jr. [who] drafted this and an earlier petition that led to the closure of the Rancho Seco power plant in June 1989.
As drafted, the latest initiative parallels existing state law prohibiting the creation of new nuclear plants until the federal government finds a solution to dispose of radioactive nuclear waste and reprocess spent fuel rods. If enacted, the initiative would essentially shut down the state’s two remaining nuclear plants by stopping them from creating additional waste until a federal solution arrives. [...]
Davis has until April 16, 2012 to collect the 504,760 needed signatures to allow the initiative to go the voters in the fall presidential election. He expected to start the signature drive after the Thanksgiving weekend.
Post your petition links, ways to contact decision makers, ideas for future projects, action plans, news reports, inspirational words, tips for increasing signatures/exposure, questions… whatever you can think of concerning this issue. Here is a video to get things rolling:

Stand with Edward Snowden (Avaaz petition to the USA president for fair treatment):

Report comment
Avaaz…I wrote them; check out Fukushima. Made me wonder. Snowden just left his girlfriend, his home and friends, then advertised his location to the world? Maybe the whistleblown will "fix" their wrong doings, or defer to a higher, new wold order…then everything will be fine and Avaaz will have saved the world, conquering one injustice at a time, with a petition. I can tell you one thing, we would be more moved to allow nuclear because of some petition than those corrupt and psychopathic leaders would reform themselves by receiving the same. "A million peaceful peons kindly request you change your ways sir…if you please your excellence". They control who lives and who dies, just like the mafia

CS sez: "Snowden just left his girlfriend, his home and friends, then advertised his location to the world?"
SP: Probably because if he had released his leaks covertly he would have been terminated without prejudice by the spooks.
Interesting name…Snowden… character in the 1961 classic Catch-22. Like our 2013 Snowden, the literary version also spilled his guts (and not in a whistleblower sense (Chapter 41):
"Yossarian was cold, too, and shivering uncontrollable. He felt goose pimples clacking all over him as he gazed down despondently at the grim secret Snowden had spilled all over the messy floor. It was easy to read the message in his entrails. Man was matter, that was Snowden’s secret. Drop him out a window and he’ll fall. Set fire to him and he’ll burn. Bury him and he’ll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden’s secret. Ripeness was all."
SP: 2013 Snowden may also generate some sympathy with his fairly focused laser release of hot messes from Big Brother Bama's and Bush's regimes. But it's risky personally in this brain dead Facebook generation. Not quite the same audience of 1971 Vietnam War weary Americans. In 2013 Americans have really tuned in, turned on, and dropped out…to the Soma of Internet self-aggrandizing and text message pablum.

Well, I signed AVAAZ's petition to the UN General Assembly. Why? Because they said Fukushima poses a risk of “omnicide” on a scale beyond our historical experience. So what? They want to take it to the UN. Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse! "The United Nations is the greatest fraud in history. It's purpose is to destroy the United States." (John E. Rankin, a U.S. Congressman)
Is AVAAZ for real or just another tool of illusion? Where were they two years ago? Why do you have to request that criminal leaders do the right thing, over and over and over? Why, tell me, would the super-elite always do self serving, usually bad things, until you ask them nicely with 5000 signatures? Smells like a rat den to me. But I can feel the warm glow from you petition/yellow ribbon folks. "support the troops" "fukushima needs our help!"

RE: the EPA raising allowable radiation thresholds, and the March, 2013 draft PAG's, there is still time for public comment. Links for making comments appear below. Be patient when you enter your search terms. They don't make it easy to make public comment. You'll need to be persistent.
The PAG's likely to be replaced:
http://www.epa.gov/radiation/rert/pags.html
Part of the critique is the DHS (Homeland Security guidelines) released in 2008 would be implemented. That was my issue with the PAG's as they stood — basically an issue with letting FEMA and DHS dictate how to implement (or not implement) the PAG's. It matters little, IMO, what the PAG's even say, if third party entities like DHS and FEMA are influencing how they are utilized (or not utiilized). Control is basically taken away from EPA as a matter of (flawed) policy.
