[ RadSafe ] Fw: [NoMoreDU] Fw: DU bill PASSED!! New challenge: Gov. Lingle

Wed Apr 11 03:46:58 CDT 2007

The NY City group is crowing about convincing the Hawaii legislature to pass a law that begins with totally false information about DU.  Alfred Lamont Webre of British Columbia is the latest con-artist to climb aboard the DU gravy train.

Hi All,
Sheree just posted this message about the pending DU legislation in Hawaii.
We can all help get this signed into law by writing to Gov. Linda Lingle of
Hawaii, expressing our support for the bill. Let her see that there is
international support for this and that the No More DU community stands
together. In addition, we need to begin and continue a letter writing
campaign to the Canadian government demanding that they enforce their own
laws pertaining to the manufacture and sale of WMD as explained in a recent
post by our newest group member Dr. Alfred Lambremont Webre of Canada. Dr.
Webre has already been in touch with Florence Gold and has sent her a list
of the legislators in Ottawa to whom we should write. I'll post the list
ASAP.
Carl
