Subject: Re: your work for the Earth

Russell, Bill, Steve, David --

Thank you for the work you are doing to raise the consciousness of
everyone
in Sierra Club - including us JMSers - about this issue of nuclear
waste,
nuclear energy, etc.  As I began reading the various comments on the
issue, I
began to cry.  This is such a scary and sad issue to even face, yet
alone to
work on.  It is hard for me to even read about it and think that there
is
hope for the life on this planet to survive, given the incredible amount
of
toxic waste we have stored - beneath the soil, at the bottom of the
ocean,
etc., etc.

Pamela Meidell, a friend who works on nuke issues, is someone I totally
admire, as she lives close to this more-than-challenging issue daily -
as it
sounds like some of you do.  You are far more courageous than I, as my
stamina weakens at the very thought of the poisons we are ignoring.  I
don't
even pretend to know a small part of the complex issues involved, but I
know
it is not life-affirming that we are using nuclear energy, and I know we

should stop.  Since I don't know the details of the issues, nor have
even an
inkling of the decision-makers, message and other necessities of a
campaign
on this issue - please let me know what I - as a citizen, and as a
Sierra
Club leader, can do to add to the chorus of those we need to sing
together to
stop this destructive practice.

If I were on the Board of Directors, this would become a priority
campaign
immediately.

Keep up the pressure....and my suggestion would be to LOBBY each and
every
Board member to consider making this a priority campaign NOW!

hugs to all of you,
Marcia
