RESCIND ACT 1—a PETITION for PROTECTIONS from mining, nuclear waste & property confiscation

This petition is about alerting Wisconsin, the USA, and global citizens to the dangers of mining WI, and radioactive waste export/import. "WI 2013 ACT 1" mining law 'legally' sets Wisconsin up to become a mining waste land—and an international nuclear waste dump! The proposed Penokee mine (near Native American wild rice and wetland-shores of Lake Superior) would unleash ongoing poisoning from heavy-metal/acid-release and radioactive contamination.

Dangerous Cross-Atlantic secret shipments of high-level nuclear waste from Europe have begun to arrive in the US (as of Mar. 2014), and are now precariously sitting at the DOE Savannah River site in S. Carolina. The U.S. government agreed to take the nuclear waste from all foreign nuclear plants built by U.S. companies. Where will it go? With the Yucca Mt. nuclear repository site scrapped, “WI is now the number one candidate for permanent disposal of high level waste” [Nukewatch]. Clandestine Federal energy law and Wisconsin's ACT 1 invite radioactive and toxic disaster—for profit!

We strongly disapprove of the present 3rd World Economic Policy which threatens to sacrifice our sustainable economy, public health, fertility, and future viability as a state and nation to the multinational corporate reapers & polluters. We acknowledge that Wisconsin, the U.S., the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans , and Great Lakes Basin (containing one third of the world’s surface fresh water supply), and associated plants, animals and human populations are worth protecting into perpetuity.
