ANTI-NUKE FILM AUG. 6
Sunday, August 6th, 6:30 PM. Film begins at 7:30.
The Carrie Dickerson Foundation and CASE, Citizens for Alternative and Safe Energy, are inviting you to a FREE showing of "A Question of Power" at the Circle Cinema, 12 South Lewis, Tulsa (Near Admiral and Lewis). "Community Consciousness Through Film".
The film is a documentary about the opposition to the building of nuclear plants in California. We will be previewing Carrie's new book, "Harvesting the Wind - Fourteen Centuries of Wind Power" with an uncorrected proof copy.
We will be taking orders for the book and will be showing some of the original art work by local artist, Gwen Ingram, from Drumright.
We will also be speaking briefly about how Carrie's fight to stop Black Fox here in Oklahoma differed greatly from the opposition in the film. Her fight was the only successful legal intervention that stopped a nuclear plant from being built and the only way to stop PSO at that point in time.
Please join us for an evening of information and promoting renewable energy, as we realize the new rumblings to return to building nuclear plants must be stopped before they begin.
Many of you have heard that Carrie had a recent fall and short hospital visit, but she is now resettled in the new nursing home in Claremore. She is doing well. The best medicine we can give her is to rally and carry on her work so that she can relax in confidence, knowing that we will not let her life's dedication be forgotten. We will continue to inform the public and crusade for safe and alternative energy. Please join us in our efforts to keep our environment safe.
We very much appreciate the Circle's support of our efforts. We encourage you to patronize the concession stand while attending our event.
Donations to The Carrie Dickerson Foundation will be gratefully and graciously accepted. Be sure to check into becoming a member of the Circle Cinema! http://www.circlecinema.com/

Sumbody's gotten hisself like BRAINWASHED. There's actually a million and one ways to make yer own electricity, none of which the electric company wants anyone to know about. If you pull the plug on yer fridge, visit with your neighbors at the grocery store everyday, a typical American house would actually need very little electricity.
Global warming has subsidized Mr. and Mrs. America's comforts and conveniences for far too long. The fridge and the automobile have done their part to keep neighbors isolated from each other. Whydon'tya try sharecroppin'? Grow some of yer fav veggies in yer front yard. Put up a sign: Sharecropper: Yer fav veggie. And, watch the neighbor stop by just for a friendly chat, instead of calling the cops to get you to turn down yer stereo at 2 a.m.
The biggest problem I have with nuke energy is the behind-the-scene math used to make you, me, and the rest of the ratepayers pony up for someone cushy retirement account. It's a SCAM.
More about the film:
A QUESTION OF POWER (1986) is a moving and informative documentary history of the nuclear power controversy and the U.S. antinuclear power movement. Narrated by Peter Coyote, the film focuses on 35 years of grassroots opposition to the “peaceful atom” in California, where the antinuclear power movement was born (in 1959-64 over the proposed Bodega Bay Atomic Park), and reached its peak in 1981 with the protests over the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. The documentary combines inspirational portraits of nuclear opponents with authoritative testimony and investigative reporting. Activists and educators alike have referred to A QUESTION OF POWER as the definitive film history of the antinuclear power movement. http://www.dlbfilms.com/questionofpower.html
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie Sunday.
