[Peace-discuss] Japanese warning

[C. G. Estabrook]

Interesting.  I gather the Chicago-based Exelon Corp. (with some 17 nuclear 
reactors?) wants to build a second one in Clinton, and to that end has been 
showering the  Republican congressman in the 15th IL  CD with cash for years.  
Now that Tim is safely voting against money for war in the Mideast, maybe we can 
get him to vote against nukes, too, and disappoint his corporate backers.
