DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n\nShut Down, Not Meltdown: Keep Japan 
 Nuclear-Free!\nKeep All Nuclear Plants Shut Down In 
 Japan\n\nPicket/Rally/Protest Letter To Japanese Government\nFriday, June 
 22, 2012 - 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM\nSan Francisco Japanese Consulate\n50 Fremont 
 St/Mission St.\nSan Francisco, California\n\nThe disaster at the Fukushima 
 nuclear plant in Japan continues despite the efforts to keep the real 
 threats secret from the people of Japan and the world.\nChildren and the 
 residents continue to be contaminated and the plant number 4 could still 
 collapse in another major earthquake with thousands of used nuclear rods 
 giving off even greater contamination.\nThe closure of all the nuclear 
 plants in Japan was  a result of\nanger by the Japanese people and  the 
 growing knowledge\nthat they cannot afford another Fukushima 
 disaster.\nDespite these horrific dangers that threaten the very existence 
 of Japan, Prime\nMinister Noda and both major political parties are pushing 
 for the restarting of two nuclear reactors in the town of Ohi which is in 
 the Fukushima prefecture in the Western part of Japan. \n\nThis is not only 
 an issue for the Japanese people and environment. The Pacifica ocean has 
 now become polluted with cesium and other nuclear materials which are still 
 pouring into the Pacific ocean from the rivers of\nFukushima. Tuna caught 
 off the coast of California have been found to contain radiation from 
 Fukushima.\nThe Japanese government and the Tokyo Electric Power Company 
 have also been completely silent about their responsibility for the nuclear 
 contamination of the entire Asia Pacifica region.\n\nAt the same time, the 
 government of Japan has refused to even evacuate even the children of 
 Fukushima despite the continued radioactive contamination and a likely 
 cancer epidemic.\n\nWe must speak out to stop the restarting of these 
 plants and demand that the Japanese government evacuate the children and 
 people of Fukushima who want out of this contaminated area.\n\nWhile we are 
 taking this action at the Japanese Consulate on June 22, the US government 
 and the Obama administration continue to tell the people of California and 
 the United States that the two nuclear plants in California at San Onofre  
 and Diablo Canyon are safe and that the taxpayers should continue to 
 subsidize the nuclear industry. We reject these policies and views and the 
 lessonof Fukushima is\nthat there is NO Safe Nuclear Power whether in Japan 
 or the the 104 nuclear plants\nin the United States.\n\nThis is part of an 
 International Day of Action and asimultaneous action will take place in Los 
 Angeles at the Consulate there.\n\nIt has been initiated by\nGreen Action 
 Japan\nIt is endorsed by\nNo Nukes Action Committee, Labor Video Project 
 and other organizations\nhttp://nonukesaction.wordpress.com/\nFor
