<h3>December 31, 2007</h3>
<p> Public hearings have not been well attended, statements mostly in
favor of the plan to put all of the nuclear waste in the country in
this one sacred place. Activists were told that if we do not go on
record with a statement, we will have no legal recourse later on. </p>
<p>Local papers & media spin have recently stated that opposition
to the nuke dump had dropped of since the passing of Corbin Harney. The
nuclear reps are confident to the point of acting like it's a done deal.<br>
</p>
<p>WE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE! LETS PROVE THEM WRONG! TAKE ACTION &
MAKE YOUR COMMENT NOW!!</p>

Mountain is sacred to the Shoshone as an herb gathering site, for
rituals, and as a part of their stories. Yucca Mountain is known in
Shoshone language as Snake Mountain. Indeed it looks like a snake. It
is said that the snake was headed north when it froze where it is.
Further more it is said that it will move again and "flip around".
Geologists say that there are thirteen different fault lines running
through it.</p>
