"I happen to be on sound financial footing as the result of disability payments for an injury incurred while I was in the Marine Corps. I was raised with the belief that sharing and generosity are virtues that should be cultivated when one is on such footing. I recognize that my existence on earth will be brief when compared to the half life of radioactive waste created by nuclear power generation. I am concerned for those who will come after me, and wish to share my good fortune with those who follow by making contributions to stem and terminate the production of radioactive poisons that may otherwise be, for all practical purposes, eternal environmental hazards." Greg O’Kelly, San Luis Obispo, CA

"As one who cherishes our beautiful California environments, I know we must be vigilant to pro-safety and that of future generations in the name of profit. As a former Atomic Energy Commission Nuclear Materials Compliance Officer, I can attest that not all nuclear licensees disclose leaks, spills and releases of radioactive materials. If citizen groups do not maintain a close, involved surveillance of this 65 year old technology who will? To maintain this vigilance is why I support the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility. If you believe that our precious coast is worth protecting, along with our heritage, contribute whatever you can, whenever you can. I do because I think it’s an investment in our future." Sam Casalina, PhD, CIH Arroyo Grande, CA.

Please support the Alliance efforts to end production of highly-radioactive waste on our coast by 2025. Listed below are some of our average costs for doing this public advocacy, and how you can help offset these expenses.

• $150 - a round-trip ticket to Sacramento to educate our legislators and oversight agencies
• $100 – a hotel for one night on trips or speaking engagements to educate California ratepayers as well as Sacramento and Washington, DC representatives
• Donation of frequent flyer miles
• Donation of hotel coupons

Any amount helps, but these are our major expenses.
