I would implore Gov. Kenny Guinn and Sen. John Ensign to encourage all Nevadans not to vote for President Bush. If our elected officials are truly looking out for the citizens of this state, then they most certainly would not want nuclear waste being shipped here.

Gov. Guinn and Sen. Ensign are Republicans, but they should show some courage and oppose President Bush for the benefit of Nevada. Any Nevadan voting for Bush is voting for nuclear waste. If they can live with it and all the danger, well, so be it.

But Republican voters and state Republican officials should ask themselves: Because you belong to a certain party, are you going to vote for somebody who will hurt your state?
