Leave Uranium Underground, Undisturbed in Virginia
Uphold your vows and protect the Health, Safety, and Welfare of all Virginians and visitors, current and for generations to come, by choosing Wisdom, not profits. Refuse to allow ANY Uranium Mining, because 52 of 52 locations where this has been done have resulted in Groundwater Contamination with numerous poisonous chemicals and increased levels of ionizing radiation. Remember, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima Dai-Ichi!
Why is this important?
My Father Died of Lung Cancer, and his death was both horrible and beautiful in its own way. This petition is about the proposal to allow Uranium Mining in the Commonwealth of Virginia, because doing so is first - entirely foolhardy, and totally Not necessary. We need as many people as possible to sign this petition, especially citizens of Virginia. People anywhere can sign, however because if this is permitted, we can eventually expect to say good bye to the following: safe foods to eat from most of Virginia, a clean and safe area to live or vacation in all of the eastern 2/3 of Virginia (plus northeastern North Carolina) and a future in which "Virginia is for Lovers." Eventually people will have to replace the word lovers in the slogan with the word Losers,
