ABC 4 News, in league with Utah Governor Jon Hunstman and thousands of concnerned citizens throughout the Rocky Mountain West, is calling for an end to the government's planned mega-bomb test known as divine strake.
This 700-hundred ton blast, scheduled for 2007 at the Nevada test site, 65 miles southwest of St. George, will be the largest conventional weapons test ever conducted and threatens to send a ten-thousand foot mushroom cloud of radioactive dust across the state of Utah.
The Pentagon assures us there's no risk to the public's health, but we've heard these promises before.
After suffering thousands of cancer deaths and related illnesses due to government's nuclear bomb tests in the 1950's and 1960's, we at ABC 4 feel it's unconscionable to expose Utah's families to another such risk.
That's why we're calling on you to join forces with ABC 4 News & Governor Huntsman as we work together to stop Divine Strake.
Now is the time to act.
Public comment is being accepted by the federal government until Wednesday February 7, 2007.
