~Please Share~ JOIN THE COALITION AGAINST NUKES FOR A NUCLEAR FREE CONVERGENCE ON OUR NATION’S CAPITOL
September 20th, 21st and 22nd
SEPTEMBER NO NUKES convergence on Washington D.C.
"It’s time to really FOCUS on nuclear power issues BEFORE the 2012 presidential election! The Coalition Against Nukes is organizing an anti-nuclear convergence in Washington, DC, Sept. 20-22, 2012 to FULLY EXPOSE the nuclear crisis in Japan and its relevance to the insidious nuclear industry in the United States. This is a GRASSROOTS effort and we need YOUR INVOLVEMENT for these events to be successful! We must maximize AWARENESS before the election to bring attention to the dangers of nuclear power."
"We call on citizens across the country to mobilize their communities by working from now until September to get to Washington, DC for these events. We also urge you to call or email your elected representatives and URGE them to attend the congressional briefing. C.A.N will also invite our congressional representatives to the briefing on Sept. 20th at the Cannon Bldg, Rm 121, 2-4pm."

There is no more serious cause ..cause this one will kill ALL life forms. Radiation damages DNA, damaged DNA gets passed on to the next generation.
Research before Fukushima ..1 in 3.. will get cancer. What do you think our chances are now?

Martin Sheen on poverty, faith and activism
"..AE: You've been arrested more than, I think, 60 times now for taking part in demonstrations on various issues. How far do you think someone should go to defend or promote their cause?
MS: Well, I don't have a cause per se. I have a conscience. And I feel moved to be present at various sites to call attention to peace and justice issues. And so I kind of blame it on the Holy Spirit for the route I've taken to these places and asked to just stand to be a presence to the marginal and a voice to the voiceless. And sometimes it's very costly. But it's also very freeing because in every one of the arrests I've been involved in, I have been satisfied in my conscience that I did everything I possibly could, and I did it nonviolently, and I tried to do it humanely and even joyfully. So that's the major criteria I use for involvement. .."

Bravo Mr. Sheen! Tackling the real issues, let others talk all they want about tiger blood and winning
Seriously, you are an important voice, and this should start to nudge the more courageous Hollywood players, whom will be a very welcome voice if we want to effect change at a mass scale. Not holding my breathe, but this is a start. Finally.

Joe Rogan re-Twitted (spelling?) a post re: Fukushima to some 689,000 people on Twitter in May. The article appeared here, or the link was posted here.
Joe's on board with Enenews too. Apparently he's a member of the group or at least follows what's going on here.
Go, Joe! Glad to see some of the Hollywood "elite" don't give a rip about being "politically correct" whatever that means.

Time to get the band back together.

Some of them could to an awareness concert to stop further construction of NPPs and force the decommissioning of dangerous NPPs based on the events a Fukushima.
A special website with more info could run across a crawler along the bottom with facts regarding nuclear accidents in between songs which would minimize the need for lecturing in between songs/acts.
I often wonder why this has not happened already.

Apparently something like I suggested above did happen, but coverage was minimal.

Thirty two years after the No Nukes concert in New York, on August 7, 2011, a MUSE benefit concert was held at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. to raise money for MUSE and for Japanese tsunami/nuclear disaster relief. Artists included Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, John Hall, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Kitaro, Jason Mraz, Sweet Honey and the Rock, the Doobie Brothers, Tom Morello, and Jonathan Wilson. The show was powered off-grid.
Did it even get cable TV air time???

Thanks for the links.
I knew network would never broadcast an anti-nuke concert. I was hoping one or more of them got airtime on cable given the big names involved with MUSE.
Probably need Gaga to do or say something to get anyone's attention in the English speaking world.

Thanks, HoTaters. I appreciate that. I'm mainly busy in dirtspace/meatspace for a while – savoring that part of life while I still can. I lurk here when I get a chance, but usually find I don't have anything new to say.
I'll be back more when I get my second wind. It's great to see that the group keeps its collective energy high no matter who is around on any given day.
Oh… I can't do a post without a link. How about:

Which song? I do not see a link to anything…

Even though this concert was in August 2011..I considered it too early in the situ.
I believe in saving ..a bit of something..for later.
Now..we are hard pressed..to get the attention of the music community..when we really need it.

Japanese and foreign artists including iconic German group Kraftwerk performed at a mass weekend protest concert against nuclear energy inspired by Oscar-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto.
The “No nukes 2012” event was held in the vast Makuhari Messe exhibition center close to Tokyo.
Thousands came to support the initiative of Sakamoto, a pioneer of electronic music whose own techno-pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra performed, along with Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Kraftwerk.
The concerts held on Saturday and Sunday were also broadcast on the Internet, accompanied by anti-nuclear messages.
“Over a year has passed since the accident in Fukushima. The electricity company Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) and the Japanese prime minister said that the acute crisis is over, but the reality is that the danger has not passed and the real resolution of the accident remains unclear,” the organizers said.

@weeman – i don't think Mr Sheen needs to much of a reminder. He's been arrested 66 times apparently. I'd say he hasn't been influenced. He seems rock solid in his committment to me.
(May 13, 2011)
"Sheen is a passionate protester against nuclear proliferation and was often detained from 1986 to 2007 for his activities at nuclear testing sites"
http://topcultured.com/martin-sheen-has-been-arrested-66-times-thats-real-winning/
I have a new appreciattion for him and he is shining example of what we all need to do .. get arrested 60 times !
In my own truth here, I've never been arrested for a protest. Obviously I haven't been doing enough.

Well, Mr. Sheen, you need to run for President.
Make it a family affair, with Charlie out there doing agitprop and Emilio as the straight man (the late night-Jay-Dave-Chelsea and morning shows plus celebrity magazines would love it), you would be a shoo-in.
You know it would be fun. Save us.

Needed some good news today. Get the e-mail digest and today's headlines were awful. It seems to just grow worse and worse. I considered not even reading here today.
Am not surprised to hear (side note, other article posted here today) Dr. Caldicott thinks many Fukushima workers have died and there is a coverup. Also not surprised to hear many are becoming ill in Eastern Japan. When will it be obvious the U.S. and Canada (and other parts of the Northern Hemisphere) have also been affected? At what point do the health effects become glaringly obvious to all?
High CPM counts in S.F. Bay Area continue; 50+ CPM off and on all day, for almost 2 weeks per Radiation Network.
Thank you, Mr. Sheen. Thank you, thank you.

Yep, thumbs up to Martin Sheen. We're behind him.

I finally signed in to comment.I have been coming to this site since the tsunami. Was actually on the internet when the news broke that there was an explosion at the plant.
It is just amazing to me that there is so little known about what is happening in Japan, even today..
People simply don't know. They think it's all over with.. And are shocked when I tell them, it is far from over..And some are upset that I said anything to them at all.
Feeling they would rather not have known, because its scary..
But its good to see that word is getting out and so many are sticking with it..nuclear is a pandora's box.. We've been peeking inside for years.. Now we have finally taken the lid off~!

Dear nukenomore,
I,m so glad to hear from you! I too was following ENENews and have never blogged in my life
I have had similar experiences with people around me (lack of interest). It is hard. But here, folks (although they're all smarter than me)seem to be on a same wave length.
Best Wishes
