As the catastrophe at Fukushima worsens, Japan's State Secrets Act threatens to cut the flow of vital information. We ask Ambassador Kennedy to oppose this act so the world might know what is happening at Fukushima and how to respond.
That's why I signed a petition to Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy, which says:
"
Ambassador Kennedy:
We ask for your strongest possible official opposition to Japan's new State Secrets Act, and for your every effort to guarantee free global media access to the Fukushima nuclear site.
We also ask that you help secure maximum possible participation and control at Fukushima by the world's scientific, engineering and financial communities.
We question Tokyo Electric's ability to deal with this unprecedented crisis. On November 7, 150,000 signatures were delivered to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon asking for a global takeover at Fukushima by the world's top experts, with all necessary funding.
For our children and theirs, we ask your strongest possible support in this effort.
"
Will you sign the petition too?

SIGN THE PETITION
Modern industrial society is a fanatical religion. We are demolishing, poisoning, destroying all life-systems on the planet. We are signing IOUs our children will not be able to pay...We are acting as if we were the last generation on the planet. Without a radical change in heart, in mind, in vision, the earth will end up like Venus, charred and dead. – Jose Antonio Lutzenberger, Brazilian Minister for the Environment
