Is Bush's EPA Corrupt?

Interference a EPA


Is the EPA, charged with protecting our health and the environment corrupt? Check out this recent April 2008 report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (for the Executive Summary, click here, for the full report, open the attached file below) for what's being done to ravage our environment and threaten public health that the EPA is letting polluters get away with.

Then take a look at the various sites in Colorado RMPJC's Nuclear Nexus has been investigating and warning the public about over the last year or more - at Rocky Flats, Lockheed Martin, the Lowry Air Force Base, Lowry Bombing Range, Lowry Landfill, Valmont Butte and beyond.

How many do you think involve apparent improprieties by the EPA?

 

RMPJC's Nuclear Nexus Project and Safe Water Colorado are investigating.

Boulder's Prairie Dogs: Digging Up More than Dirt on Valmont Butte

by Adrienne Anderson

Prairie DogFrom Valmont Butte, the view overlooking the Boulder Valley is grand. What's not so grand, however, is what's underfoot and still further below -- tons of radioactive debris.

After decades of degradation of land considered a historic, geologic and cultural treasure to Native Americans, pioneer settlers in the region and others by disposal of radioactive tailings and other radioactive and toxic wastes, the high point in Boulder County has become a low point for City of Boulder officials as the truth of the butte's toxic impacts to the surrounding environment is being unearthed.

Some of that truth is being dug up, literally, by prairie dogs.

Paving Over Pollution

By Adrienne Anderson

radWhat to do with the wastes of war?

Today’s fix is to deny it’s there and cover it up. With cement. And lots of it.

At least that’s the apparent approach of the Bush administration and a well-connected corporation that operates with the kiss of approval of the Pentagon and some of its top contractors, like Lockheed Martin. Former personnel of such polluters are the chief executives and managers for this firm, called International Risk Group (IRG). It operates through a variety of subsidiaries with different names and its profits are tied to pollution cover-ups of some of the worst sites throughout the U.S. and beyond.

Stand Up for the U.S. Constitution!

Picnic at Rocky Flats? RMPJC Urges Colorado Leaders to Withdraw State Consent for Public Access

UPDATE: We continue to get new endorsers to our letter to Governor Ritter. Among them, Cindy Carlisle, Regent of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Is Rocky Flats safe enough to take your family for a hike or picnic?

The federal government says so. We at RMPJC and others strongly disagree.

 

Watch us grow!
