antinuclear renaissance call to cooperation

A renaissance in nuclear power will require an anti-nuclear renaissance
– this time everything must be reexamined
Dear Antinuclear Friends,
This is an invitation to national cooperation and coordination in the antinuclear battle. If you wish to receive more information please respond.
I would be willing to coordinate a 50-state national movement until we can get organized. I would do this primarily through a simple free website and to coordinate a new idea called NACCTT – national antinuclear citizen’s council and think tank. Instead of a more conventional think tank populated by elites, it would integrate the Internet, a citizen council made up of elder and younger activists, and think tank processes, that would hopefully lead to a profound new level of cooperative processes for collective critical thinking and networking, absolutely necessary for the new antinuclear renaissance. If you wish to be involved please respond.
My study has revealed a glaring fact that we must come to terms with, that the previous movement could not garner enough cooperation amongst themselves to knock out this evil once and for all. The movement was strong but almost totally anarchistic in nature, so the effects were always too diluted to overcome those men in power without conscience. I’ve concluded that any antinuclear movement cannot do the complete job without a consolidated national foundation - national energy and coordination feeding local efforts and vice versa.
First, we need to take an overall existential assessment of our historical and current reality. Second, an honest self-examination must be done totally irrespective of who we perceive our opponents to be. We must look in the mirror with a willingness to see the flaws that might sabotage our own efforts. Third, we must muster enough cooperation to get the job done. Freezing the expansion of nuclear power, which was certainly a good thing, while also experiencing a surge in U.S. and world nuclear weapons numbers when Reagan came on may not have been a desirable trade-off (though unintended, of course). This is an example of the kinds of honest re-evaluations we must make. The new movement must be all about national cooperation and coordination, and going back to the basics with a new pair of eyes.
The strength of a cooperative democracy is directly proportional to
the strength of its cooperative dialog.
