Picnic at Rocky Flats? RMPJC Urges Colorado Leaders to Withdraw State Consent for Public Access

UPDATE: We continue to get new endorsers to our letter to Governor Ritter. Among them, Cindy Carlisle, Regent of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Boulder's Prairie Dogs: Digging Up More than Dirt on Valmont Butte

by Adrienne Anderson
Prairie Dogs

From Valmont Butte, the view overlooking the Boulder Valley is grand. What's not so grand, however, is what's underfoot and still further below -- tons of radioactive debris.

After decades of degradation of land considered a historic, geologic and cultural treasure to Native Americans, pioneer settlers in the region and others by disposal of radioactive tailings and other radioactive and toxic wastes, the high point in Boulder County has become a low point for City of Boulder officials as the truth of the butte's toxic impacts to the surrounding environment are being unearthed.

Some of the truth is being dug up, literally, by prairie dogs.

Paving Over Pollution

By Adrienne Anderson

rad What to do with the wastes of war?

Today’s fix is to deny it’s there and cover it up. With cement. And lots of it.

At least that’s the apparent approach of the Bush administration and a well-connected corporation that operates with the kiss of approval of the Pentagon and some of its top contractors, like Lockheed Martin. Former personnel of such polluters are the chief executives and managers for this firm, called International Risk Group (IRG). It operates through a variety of subsidiaries with different names and its profits are tied to pollution cover-ups of some of the worst sites throughout the U.S. and beyond.

Stand Up for the U.S. Constitution!

Valmont Butte's Hot Water

Boulder City Officials Asked to Halt Valmont Butte Sale Pending Requested Investigations

The Nuclear Nexus Project of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center issued an October 31st appeal to the Mayor of Boulder, Boulder City Council members and candidates that any plans to sell the Valmont Butte be halted, pending an investigation of apparent improprieties involving city, county, state and EPA officials over the City of Boulder acquisition of the property in 2000 and undisclosed facts about the contamination history of record at the site.

Get Involved

It's never been a more critical time in our nation's history to get involved, and exercise our democratics rights to protect our Constitution, remind our Congress that they represent us, their constituents, and that we do not want endless war using billions of dollars from our taxes and costing hundreds of thousands of innocent lives in a grab for resources that are not rightfully ours to begin with.

Please join us for peace and justice.

And please also support us with a generous contribution for this work (see the green "Donate" button in the right hand column) so we can

all live in peace!
