United Way Supports Anti-Nukes

["Jim Hoerner" <jim_hoerner@HOTMAIL.COM>]

You've gotta be kidding me.  I give a hefty chunk of change to the United 

Way.  While perusing one of the many anti-nuke (some would say criminal - 

inside joke) sites out there - http://www.ncwarn.org - I came across this: 

http://www.ncwarn.org/AboutWARN/membershipform.html

"* You can also designate NC WARN through NC Community Shares, OR as a 

write-in under United Way, in your workplace giving campaign. "



Unfreakinbelievable.

Dear United Way,



As a long-time supporter of your programs, I was recently dismayed to 

discover that you provide funds for an anti-nuclear so-called advocacy 

group, NC Waste Awareness & Reduction Network, or NC WARN.

Their web site is http://www.ncwarn.org and they acknowledge the support of 

the United Way at http://www.ncwarn.org/AboutWARN/membershipform.html



I believe that your support of NC WARN is inconsistent with your otherwise 

noble programs and initiatives.  Nuclear power provides humanity with 

relatively clean, safe, sustainable, cost-competitive energy, and NC WARN 

wishes to effectively replace this realiable power with more fossil fuels.



I am reconsidering my support of your organization.  Also, I don't think 

your supporters from Duke Power or Carolina Power and Light would appreciate 

the fact that you support misguided groups wishing to put them out of work.



I look forward to your timely reply, which I plan to share with my 

colleagues.



Sincerely,

[My complete name, title, address, and email]
