Demand that President Clinton STOP the CASSINI launch of 72.3 lbs. of
plutonium into space Monday morning, or any time in the future! Hear
what experts have to say about the launch. Read about it on our website:
http://prop1.org (Go to "Current Events" -- "Cassini"). Call the White
House Hotline (202-456-1111-0), email president@whitehouse.gov, telegram
888-NO-CASSINI ($charge) -- COME!
<center>NO MOBILE CHERNOBYL!
</center>Another issue: pressure is on in the House to ratify the
"Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1997" (HR-1270; it passed the Senate as
S-104), otherwise known as "Mobile Chernobyl." Plans are to transport the
waste from the nation's nuclear power / weapons facilities "temporarily"
to Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Las Vegas Review Journal reported an
earthquake of 4.0 magnitude at the Nevada Test Site at 6:36 a.m. Friday,
September 12, 1997, centered aboutr 28 miles east of Beatty NV, according
to the seismological laboratory of the University of Nevada, Reno. It
looks like the proposed Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Dump area has at
least seven earthquakes a week. (A map of all the past 50 earthquakes
listed in Nevada can be found at

<center>LET'S BREAK THE NUCLEAR CHAIN!
</center>Plutonium into space -- on the highways, railways, ships and
submarines -- new, burrowing nuclear bombs -- continuing "subcritical"
nuclear testing -- avoiding the landmine treaty, and ignoring World Court
opinions -- this administration has much to answer for. America's air,
earth, water, highways, farms, suburbs, and inhabitants don't need any
more nuclear mishaps.
Please come to the rally on Sunday, October 12 to register your opinion.
Plan to stay till dark, when there will be a candlelight vigil; stay all
night and drum for an end to the nuclear nightmare.
