Grand Canyon Uranium Mining PSA from James Q Martin Media on Vimeo.
Comment: Vote on this, it will help our fight in Virginia against uranium mining, not needed, not wanted! Also write to Congress and the Senators on the Federal Level and ask them to Ban Robert Hurt's vote on cutting the EPA, he has a conflict of interest since his Dad is an investor in Uranium Mining in Virginia! Keep the Ban!

The Grand Canyon is ground zero for a new uranium-mining boom. New mining would industrialize iconic wildlands and threaten irretrievable pollution of aquifers and the biologically rich springs and creeks they feed — springs that harbor up to 500 times more species than adjacent lands.
In June, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar visited Grand Canyon, announcing that he favors enacting a 20-year ban on new mining across Grand Canyon National Park’s 1-million-acre watershed.
Days later, a bill was introduced in Congress that would strip the Obama administration’s authority to enact those protections — sacrificing the Grand Canyon’s magnificent lands for more destructive uranium mining. The House of Representatives votes on that bill in late July or early August.
