NO MORE SECRETS”TELL THE TAXPAYER

It’s time for accountability”past time, actually. More than $2 billion has been spent on the UPF bomb plant and no one will tell us what the actual plan for the bomb plant is”because they are afraid to face the public.

So OREPA is launching the Tell the Taxpayer campaign in the month of November”while Congress is supposedly thinking about the budget they need to pass before December 11.

CALLING ALL TENNESSEANS!

The first round of the campaign is for Tennesseans (others can help, too, but we’re starting with Senator Alexander because he chairs the powerful subcommittee that holds the purse strings for the UPF bomb plant.

NOVEMBER is THE MONTH

We are asking people to write during November”specifically, from November 9 to December 8. If you have a monthly meeting, that’s great time to generate a nice stash of letters. You can write by snail mail (impressive!) or email.

We are providing fact sheets and talking points (see below or the sidebar on the right hand side of our web page). If you live close, we’ll try to come meet with you.

We will also post an article you can run in your November newsletter or send out to your listserv.

150 LETTERS IN ONE MONTH

That’s our goal”an average of five a day. We’ll need everyone’s help to do it.

Check out the fact sheets to get started!
