Nevada matters in this. Much of the country wants Nevada to be their nuclear dumping ground. The threat to the health of Nevada citizens is critica. Nevada can show its opposition to Yucca Mountain by standing behind Dennis Kucinich in his bid for the Presidency. He is the only candidate for President who voted against Yucca Mountain and its funding. Edwards pushed Yucca Mountain through Congress, repeatedly voting for it. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama voted to fund Yucca Mountain. A vote for Kucinich is a vote against Yucca Mountain.
This is all about election tampering on the part of NBC. All the candidates but Kucinich voted for Yucca Mountain and/ or its funding. Kucinich is the only candidate running for President who opposed Yucca Mountain and its funding.
John Edwards voted to override Bill Clinton's veto of the Yucca Mountain dump site. Then Edwards voted with Bush to create a permanent nuclear dump site at Yucca Mountain. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama voted for the funding for Yucca Mountain.
Of the candidates for President, only Kucinich voted against Yucca Mountain and its funding.
If you oppose Yucca Mountain, you have one choice for President: Dennis Kucinich.

All the candidates who were allowed to speak tonight are virtual clones of each other. They all voted for war in Iraq or Continued War in Iraq (in the case of Obama) and its funding. They all voted for the Patriot Act. Obama voted five times for its renewal and Edwards led the fight to get the original through. They all voted for Yucca Moutnain and/or its funding. Edwards led the charge to get Yucca Mountain chosen as a nuclear repository and repeatedly voted for it. Obama and Clinton voted to fund it. All thave spoken in support of war with Iran and all have said they intend to leave troops in Iraq through 2013.
The only way Nevada votes for peace or against Yucca Mountain is if Nevada votes for Kucinich, the only candidate to vote against Yucca Mountain and its funding.
