Matheson to Utah GOP
Senate Candidates:
You are wrong on nuke testing
Congressman Jim Matheson held a news conference this morning with Utah citizens and representatives of the “downwinders” community to denounce the call from the two Utah Republican senatorial candidates to resume nuclear weapons testing.
“The tragic legacy for Utahns from past atomic weapons testing is one of lies and betrayal, illness and death. By standing united against the unsafe, unnecessary policy of nuclear testing, Utahns have won some important battles. We’re ready for this new fight,” said Matheson.
Congressman Matheson has fought his entire career to protect Utahns from the tragedy of radiation exposure. He stood with all the victims - the "downwinders", uranium miners, millers, and ore haulers - when they fought for compensation under the law - for unknowingly being put at risk.
Matheson opposed President Bush's attempt to shorten the time frame to resume testing; fund, design and develop the "bunker-buster"; and detonate "Divine Strike" - a precursor to new weapons testing in Nevada.
A new website has been launched by Matheson dedicated to the fight. You can add your name in support of the cause: KeepUtahSafeFromNukes.org
