If Betty McCollum is your Congressperson, please contact her against nuclear power loans.

[Eric J in MN]

"The House Appropriations Committee is meeting Thursday, June 24 at 1 pm to consider the energy and water appropriations bill for next year's budget. President Obama's Department of Energy wants $36 Billion more of your dollars to hand out in loans to the nuclear power industry. Your actions can stop this unnecessary nuclear bailout: Tell your Representative that wealthy nuclear companies like Electricite de France, Areva, General Electric, NRG Energy and Toshiba don't need taxpayer bailouts! Fill in your zip code below to send your letter."

1. McCollum is my Congressperson but she sure isn't my Rep.

It doesn't matter to her what her constituents want. She sold us out long ago and never looked back.

Her latest campaign flyer features a pic of her and Bart Stupak, of all people, and lauds the the "accomplishments" of that great sell-out that some refer to laughably as Health Care Reform. I'm sure her corporate masters are real proud of her for that one.

Go ahead and contact her but it won't do any good. Me, I'm not even going to bother. It's just a waste of time.
