Sent directly to Girl Scout Council of Hawaii, Aloha Council Boy Scouts of America, and Girl Scouts of The United States of America, and International Girl Scouts, with witnesses in cc.
Now I am sending it to you… THE MEDIA, and The GOVERNMENT
I, Lisa Long (as a Girl Scout Leader and concerned American citizen), have provided to “Girl Scout Council of Hawaii” lengthy and detailed accounts of facts regarding Depleted Uranium (DU) and its hazards, including but not limited to:
Depleted Uranium’s real dangers admitted by the Army including Official Military training guides and videos;
photographic, newspaper, video and testimony evidence from around the world of Depleted Uranium horrors to people and the environment;
evidence DU travels for miles in the air; transcript and video links to Hawaii News Station KITV 4 broadcast of high radiation readings on the Big Island of Hawaii April 22, 2007 and information this radiation is likely emanating from Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA);
links to newspaper stories in the Honolulu Advertiser including one where a U.S. Army spokesman admitted the use of DU at Schofield Barracks and the possible use of it at Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island and this same official at the Pentagon stated they will conduct radiological testing this summer for that dangerous contamination at Schofield, Makua Military Reservation and Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island;
the potential of PTA being a SuperFund site and lists of SuperFund sites and links to information, including “The 2004 Defense Environmental Restoration Program report to Congress listed 798 military contamination sites at 108 installations in Hawai’i, 96 of which were contaminated with unexploded ordnance, seven of the military contamination sites were considered “Superfund” sites. These sites have not been cleaned up.”;
the Hawaii State Bill HB1452 (to test for Depleted Uranium) and its references;
links to rising cancer, diabetes, autism, birth defects data in Hawaii, down wind from military installations;
reference to the Groves Memorandum, a declassified Army memo of the deadly effects of radioactive weaponry that clearly recommended its development as a “poison gas warfare weapon”;
other declassified military documentation where the military has been proven to be intentionally misrepresenting its actions in Hawaii and around the world, especially where citizen and solider health is concerned, including its pervasive pollution of Hawaii’s scared peoples, lands and oceans with conventional, biological and chemical warfare agents (Project Shad, Project 112, Wai’anae Coast, Kaho’olawe, Pearl Harbor).
This information has been acknowledged, in writing, that it was received by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii.
The acknowledgment of the serious dangers of any likely contamination of Pohakuloa Training Area with Depleted Uranium, has been avoided by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii’s use of alleged noncompliance with their policies and procedures, and that has served as a strategic means for their corporate avoidance in addressing the real issues in falling to protect the children in their care from these risks as a by product of pursuit of their corporate image and public relations strategies and policies.
Therefore, let it be known that “Girl Scout Council of Hawaii” has been informed and have knowingly, willingly, intentionally and intelligently exposed the children of Hawaii (up to 35 Scouts and their Leaders) to the potential dangers and hazards of DU on June 8, 2007, as reference by West Hawaii Today, June 9, 2007, ON BASE AND ON TARGET, front page story.
Similar information was also provided by me to: Aloha Council, Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of The United States of America; West Hawaii Today, Honolulu Star Bulletin, Honolulu Advertiser, KHON2, KHNL, KITV, KGMB9, The Hawaii Channel, CNN, FOX News, ABC, CBS News, NBC, NBC News, MSNBC, USA TODAY, NY TIMES, PBS, BBC, News-Week, Globe, LA TIMES and hundreds of other news organizations; Governor Lingle and 107 Senators and Representatives of Hawaii and the United States.
As a result I, Lisa Long, hold you, “Girl Scout Council of Hawaii” accountable and responsible for any harm and injury that your negligence and total lack of leadership has imposed upon these innocents, our children of Hawaii.
I also hold these listed and other news organizations and Hawaii and Federal governmental representatives responsible for all injuries to all the citizens of Hawaii and the world for NOT reporting on the known and admitted hazards of Depleted Uranium and the pervasiveness of its use and its devastating environmental contamination worldwide.
In addition, I fully hold the Armed Forces and President Bush and Vice President Cheney, liable and treasonable for permitting, condoning, and suppressing this offense to our people and the people of the world.

The Real Concern –
Boy and Girl Scouts Day – Pohakuloa Training Area
Friday, June 8, 2007 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
——–
In the past month on the Big Island a very high radiation air reading was
detected in South Kona. We now have news that the army is admitting the
Big Island may be contaminated.
http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/May/11/ln/FP705110374.html
This admission comes after KITV reported undeniably high readings taken in
Kona with the astute assistance of Leuren Moret, international consultant
in this field.

US Army uses Boy and Girl Scouts in PsyOps Exercise in Hawaii – potentially exposing them to Depleted Uranium Hazard (DU)
Lt. Col. Kim Rapaczy, (aka Hawaii Girl Scout Leader) invited the Scouts and their leaders onto Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in a public relations stunt before the Army or the State have tested the base for DU, and after Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, Lisa Long’s repeated warnings and copious amounts of supplied scientific data, for months, directed to the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii and local and national media, state and national representatives, of the potential danger lurking in the dust, soil, water and air at Pohakuloa (located next to a Girl Scout Camp) as well as the dangers DU poses in other places around the world.
As others also warned the Girl Scout Leadership, Hawaii Media, Governor Lingle, and their State and Local Representatives and as a bill for testing for DU contamination (HB 1452) worked its way thru the Hawaii Legislature and then sat uselessly with no funding, there was scant attention paid in the media, and except for two articles by William Cole, Honolulu Advertiser Military Writer, a KITV report by Dick Allgire and Maui News, and a few small independent Hawaii Journals, the rest of Hawaii’s media was conspicuous by their continued silence.
As the date approached for the Scouts excursion to Pohakuloa, Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, Lisa Long worked urgently to gain responsible attention to the issue reaching out to over 1400 people on her almost daily list mail including almost all the Hawaii News Stations, Newspaper, and the national media, including CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX New, and others, to prevent the children of Hawaii from being potentially exposed to any dangers and to warn the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii they were opening themselves up to legal trouble if they ignored the warnings and the danger did indeed exist. Lisa Long urged them to wait until all the testing was completed by the Army and the State of Hawaii before they visited the PTA Military base. She also again warned the Aloha Council Boy Scouts of America, and the Girl Scouts of the United States of America the night before the event in a desperate attempt to get it cancelled.
For this proactive action Hawaii Girl Scout Leader Lisa Long, a former Service Unit Delegate and Voting Member of the Council, with ten years experience in Girl Scouts, was dismissed by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii, and told not to identity herself with them anymore as of June 8, 2007 (the day the Scouts were to visit the base). The reasons given were that she had repeatedly violated their communications policies and procedures. No mention was ever made by them nor any agreement expressed to Ms. Long about any urgency toward the protection and safety of the Scouts from potential exposure to the effects of Depleted Uranium. In fact, this was repeatedly referred back to Ms. Long as “her concerns” (. . . but not theirs) they never directly referred to the Girl Scout Camp (and its close location next to the base), the Boy and Girl Scout excursion directly into the Pohakuloa Training Area, and their communications director even refused to answer in the affirmative or the negative, whether the Pohakuloa trip was cancelled or still proceeding as Girl Scouts had planned. Ms. Long had to learn the day after she was dismissed from Hawaii Girl Scouts, that indeed the trip had taken place, as scheduled, the day before, by reading the front page of her local newspaper, West Hawaii Today.
She, and other activists and scientists around the country are outraged at the intentional disregard for their warnings to the media, and the Hawaii Girl Scouts, and are wondering just what the Army was doing inviting children to their base, especially when they had admitted Depleted Uranium was found at Schofeild Barracks, on Oahu, (after it was independently discovered) and they also admitted they were not sure whether DU was used at Pohakuloa on the Big Island. They couldn’t say for certain until after they completed testing for Depleted Uranium contamination with sensitive radiation detectors, in addition to taking soil and water samples for laboratory analysis as required, later this summer.
But first, on June 8, 2007, as referenced by the article and photo below, they let the Boy and Girl Scouts, some as young as Cub Scouts (7 to 10 years old), sift thru that same untested soil and play with that same, untested water, prior to the Army’s official testing, which wouldn’t happen until this summer. And according to the Army’s own documents, children are especially vulnerable to Depleted Uranium hazards.
West Hawaii Today, the local newspaper on the west side of the Big Island, was fully informed of Ms. Longs and many other activists concerns about Depleted Uranium, months and months prior to the Scouts’ visit and yet, they were totally silent on the potential risks to the children in their community and most of the activists’ letters, went unpublished. This type of silence is so clearly reflected in their article below. When it comes time to pump the military up, it is front page news. . . other than that, too bad for the children and the people of Hawaii.
Shame on them.. shame on you all.

Kauikeolani Pacheco did not know that nestled between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa sits the largest military training area in Hawaii. She was unaware of the rich cultural and natural resources surrounding the training area, or what was being done to preserve and maintain those resources.
But she, along with about 35 fellow Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, learned this and much more during an educational event held at Pohakuloa Training Area on Friday. The event was open to Scouts islandwide as a means of educating the young people on what PTA has to offer, said Command Sgt. Maj. James Murray.
“We hoped to give them a better understanding of the military’s role in being good citizens,” Murray said. “Now, they’ll have a small view of what a soldier’s life is like.”
From digging through dirt, finding artifacts and learning how to identify those artifacts to learning the different pieces of equipment firefighters sometimes use, the day was full of educational opportunities — and fun.
“We got to discover bones and plants, how firemen work and we got to check out the ambulance,” said 12-year-old Keanu Francisco. “It was cool. And blowing the siren was pretty awesome. It’s a very good experience knowing how the Army does things out here.”
For 12-year-old Kyle Hisanaga, sitting inside the fire truck was his favorite part of the entire day.

Dear Lisa,
We have not received a response from you in regards to our June 6, 2007 email and June 5, 2007 email & letter. We interpret this to mean that you are not in agreement with our requirements as outlined in our letter and are choosing to remove yourself as an adult participant from the Girl Scouts of Hawai`i. If this is inaccurate, please respond by the end of the day.
(They gave me an hour or two to respond (3:56:43) I am not sure when they close)
I responded (5:46:49)

Dear Tammy,
I responded at June 7, 2007 12:32:00 PM HST. (see attached below) (my long attached email “When a danger is present, time is of the essence” Depleted Uranium and Girl and Boy Scout Safety – had gone in 3 1/2 hours before I got the one above – it was my original response)
Any views and opinions expressed by me are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of Girl Scouts of Hawaii or the Screen Actors Guild, or anyone else. I am sending this my local activist list mail. I have not clicked reply to all (Girl Scouts). If someone is on my list mail, they are there as a local activist list member. Girl Scout email responses not included as per official Girl Scout policies.
I followed your policies by my disclaimer at the top of the page. Please read the attached email. Everyone else in Hawaii is.
BTW, you take 3 weeks to not answer an email directly, yet you give me 2 days to respond to yours. I see how fairness in Girl Scouts is dished out.
Of course I am going to stay a Girl Scout Leader. Someone needs to protect the Scouts.
Sincerely,
Lisa Long
Hawaii Girl Scout Leader

As nothing was getting done TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN, (besides dressing me down)
I sent “When a danger is present, time is of the essence” Depleted Uranium and Girl and Boy Scout Safety – to the Hawaii media and to Hawaii Boy Scouts, (I had also sent Hawaii Boy Scouts previous information about the potential dangers of DU at Pohakuloa )
——-
Then I sent this to Girl Scout Council (I used to be a Voting Member of the Council so I found some old email addresses)…
June 7, 2007 8:23:46 PM HST
Dear Gail, other members of the Hawaii Council, and National Girl Scouts and other Girl Scouts;
Because Tammy Yamanoha has only give me a short time to respond, and because, obviously, her email address is not working as she did not receive my June 7, 2007 12:32:00 PM HST email, and because she already stated in her letter to me that they throw away a lot of the emails to Girl Scout Council of Hawaii
I am taking this unusual move, and going directly to you all. Which is what she wanted anyway, as she wanted me to email the corporate structure and that is you.
And because Children could be in immediate danger… by Girl Scouts actions TOMORROW. (we just don’t know for sure, so why risk it?)
It is my duty as a Girl Scout Leader, and an American, to warn you of these potential risks.
I have CC and BCC to every girlscout address I could find (national email address from the internet).
Many are old, sorry if you are not interested, but, I believe this an IMPORTANT Girl (and Boy) Scout Issue.
Please read the information below.
Sincerely,
Lisa Long
Hawaii Girl Scout Leader

I am staying up all night, again, working to protect Hawaii’s Children.
I have been denied the knowledge of WHETHER BOYS AND GIRLS SCOUTS DAY IS STILL ON FRIDAY (tomorrow) AT POHAKULOA.
Girl Scouts wants to know whether I will follow their rules (see above disclaimers which address their rules and policies), before answering if they will even answer my question about Boys and Girl Scout Day At Pohakuloa. This email is my response.
(Girl Scout response not included as per official Girl Scout policies)
Re: Response to your June 5, 2007 email
Dear Girl Scout Director of Communications, and many many others,
I am glad it is not your intent to “keep me quiet” as stated in your five page emailed pdf letter dated June 5, 2007.
And as you can see by the above disclaimers, I am not speaking “for” you about my “personal concerns” about potential Depleted Uranium (DU) exposure on children.
In the above long pdf letter, you mention “safety” only four times… twice as part of your basic policies and twice in regard to my conduct in regard to your basic policies.
Not once do you mention safety in concert with protecting Girl and Boy Scouts from potential radiation risks from DU.
You call that, “my personal issues and concerns” and never address it directly.
As stated on page one, “the general well being and safety of Hawai’i Girl Scout members is of utmost importance to the Council.”
Great, that is why I have been emailing you, and many others about these issues. It is of utmost concern to me also.
On page 5 you state that when volunteers abide by your policies – the Council can best ensure the safety and well-being of the girls… and you also state on page 5 that “this letter purposely does not speak to any one particular issue you have raised; rather it focuses on your conduct.”
Why doesn’t your FIVE page pdf letter speak to the safety concerns I have brought before you?
You also state that “The manner in which you express your personal views is in conflict with the Council’s Adult Policies. By refusing to realize this and act accordingly, you compromise the safety and general well-being of our Girl Scouts.”
And just how do I do that?
Especially, as you acknowledge, they are “my personal views”.
How do I compromise “the safety and general well-being of Girl Scouts”, by warning Girl Scouts Hawaii, and other Girl Scouts members and other people, of potential danger?
And how is the REAL dangers of Depleted Uranium “my personal view”?
Oh.. that was NOT the purpose of your letter… so you are stating that by me not following your procedures.. I am compromising the safety and general well-being of Girl Scouts.
I take offense with that statement.
My concern IS THE SAFETY OF THE SCOUTS. ALL OF THEM. Boy and Girls.
But, you were not referring to that.. you were referring to your procedures.. and policies, again.
You also stated on page 2 that my salutation: Dear Girl Scouts of Hawaii, was to the Council, and should not have gone to other Girl Scout Leaders, and others, who have no official position with the Council. Excuse you? You sent out a flyer, for Girl Scouts to invite their troops, to a camp out next to Pohakuloa.
I was addressing that email to EVERY GIRL SCOUT IN HAWAII, and anyone whoever was a scout, and anyone who knew a scout, Boy or Girl, who could be potentially put in harms way. I believe, they have a right to know when they might be putting themselves and others, in potential danger.
And just to make sure it got noticed, I sent it to our local representatives, Governor Lingle, local media and several hundred other people, as plainly stated on the email. After sending Girl Scouts emails for months concerning the possible dangers at Pohakuloa, you were taking children and camping next to it? Outrageous!
You also state that my email May 3, 2007, Example 1: does not list who it is from but the staff tried to answer it in a “timely manner.”
Yes, I received your email, May 24, about my concerns about the Twilight Camp May 26-27, which was never addressed, btw. Just my “conduct” was addressed.
You also state that the email going to gshi@girlscouts-hawaii.org is not assured that their email will be read without the proper name (see below) and because you get so many. That is interesting, as I went out to your official web site to get your official email address.
And, as you can see by my copy below in dark blue, my name is clearly stated in my original email to your official email address. And the subject line states “Girl Scout Twilight Camp” … so I would assume you would read it and not just throw it away, as you said you did and do, with unnamed emails to that official email address as stated in your letter.
It is a good thing I copied it to many other members of Girl Scouts, even though you find that an offense to your policies.
As it is, with multiple emails to over thirty Girl Scouts and Girl Scout offices, it took you three weeks to respond, and you never, to this date, have responded to “my concerns”.
As for going thru the local West Hawaii office, who would that be? We have not had anyone consistently in Kona, that I know of, for years.
I did notice that in my response to your first letter, in my enclosed copy of the original emails, the names were missing and the email was truncated. I would suggest you check the original emails. (one copied in full at bottom of page for your information)
Example 1:
From: Lisa Long
Date: May 3, 2007 10:33:59 PM HST
To: Girl Scout Council of Hawaii
Cc: Josh Green
In BCC: 40 Girl Scout Leaders including local Girl Scout offices in Hawaii and every Representative and Senator in Hawaii, many activists, 127 Hawaii Screen Actors Guild members, most of Hawaii news media, and concerned parents of GIRL SCOUTS.
And, as I have had scores of girls scouts on my list mail for a year, I would have assumed you would have been included in the loop of knowledge, especially concerning any potential dangers in Hawaii, to Girl Scouts, and by your own admission and as stated below, you were.
And just as you have received emails of concern “about me”, I have received emails of concern from parents and others, wondering what your response is to protect the children, as I stated in my previous letter. They are still waiting.
As for your wanting me to follow proper channels, I feel I did. When a danger is present, time is of the essence. So I emailed everyone I could find who would be able to help protect the children.
As this is a very important issue, and I wanted to make sure Girl Scouts was apprised and educated to the dangers of Depleted Uranium, and the potential of it being pervasive at Pohakuloa, including it’s ability to go airborne.
You also stated that you received numerous emails from my list mail, to various (Girl Scout) staff members, including as far back as my November 20, 2006 list mail; The Hidden Massacre of Fallujah / Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush / IRAN, so you must have also received;

http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070511/NEWS01/705110374/1001
The Army told The Advertiser that the rifle’s “spotting rounds,” which are fired in order to aim the trajectory of the nuclear device, were used at Schofield Barracks and possibly at Makua Military Reservation and Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island.
There is no evidence, however, that the fission bomb warhead itself was ever fired here, and it’s unclear if it was ever stored in Hawai’i. The warhead had the strength of two to four times the explosive power that destroyed an Oklahoma City federal building in 1995.
The aiming rounds of the weapon left behind depleted uranium, and the military this summer is going to conduct radiological testing at Schofield, Makua and Pohakuloa for traces of the heavy metal, an Army official at the Pentagon said. The official requested to be identified as a “U.S. Army spokesman.”

Many of these emails contain numerous scientific articles about the dangers of Depleted Uranium, and that was just the mailings sent this year. If you need copies of any of these, just ask and I will forward them to you.
Then I was SHOCKED, to receive an event notice from Girl Scouts… with all these health concerns, the Army admitting DU use in Hawaii, Hawaii DU Bill HB 1452 waiting for funding, and “Testing – still pending” … that Girl and Boy Scouts would take children directly into Pohakuloa.
I replied to all (your girl scout list), and said “are you nuts? and I included some graphic photos of what DU has done to people, including children along with extensive information about DU and articles from the Honolulu Advertiser about DU in Hawaii.

May 24, 2007
Girl Scouts – In response to your official, certified mailed, and emailed, letter to me dated May 23, 2007
List mail concerning the dangers of Depleted Uranium (DU) in Hawaii
June 1, 2007 (still trying to educate Girl Scouts and others)
In the 60′s – Bioweapons and chemicals tested on people in Hawaii, CA, AK, UT, etc. – Project 112 and Shad / The Iraq Infections / FLUORESCENT LIGHT BULB WARNING / Cancer Vaccine Not Safe / Origins of Autism
Then I received my SECOND RESPONSE (email June 5, in response to my May 24 email about the May 26-27 Camp and the June 8 Scouts Day at Pohakuloa) from Girl Scouts, the 5 page pdf email letter, responded below with a quick question, and in this email, in detail.
(Girl Scout response not included as per official Girl Scout policies)
June 5, 2007
Response to your May 31, 2007 email (actually my May 24, 2007 7:14:00 PM HST)
You also noted, after all these list mails and emails of information stated above and below, that in my email Example 3:
I was “cryptic”, and I left the reader to piece information together because few specifics or facts were provided in my written explanation.
I have included the full email at the bottom of this page. With the above list mails sent for MONTHS and the below information..
I don’t understand what other “FACTS and SPECIFICS” you would need to be concerned about the dangers of Depleted Uranium (DU).
But as you stated in your letter, more than once, these are my personal issues and my personal concerns, not Girl Scouts.
My quick question sent about the safety of the SCOUTS,
June 5, 2007
Re: Response to your May 31, 2007 email (actually my May 24, 2007 7:14:00 PM HST)
So is this still on?
Boy and Girl Scouts Day – Pohakuloa Training Area
Friday, June 8, 2007 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Lisa
Then I received my THIRD RESPONSE from Girl Scouts, (June 6, 2007)
“It is imperative” that I either agree or disagree to the expectations of a Girl Scout leader according to your policies of image and protocol.
(Girl Scout response not included as per official Girl Scout policies)
Response to your June 5, 2007 email (June 6, really)
NO ANSWER AS TO WHETHER BOYS AND GIRLS SCOUTS DAY IS STILL ON TOMORROW AT POHAKULOA.
I have received no official (or otherwise) notice the Twilight Camp was canceled. (May 26-27)
I have received no official (or otherwise) notice the Boys and Girl Scouts Day at Pohakuloa Training Area is cancelled. (Tomorrow – June 8, 2007)
I have received officially, from you, twice now, that you don’t want me identifying myself as a Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, when dealing with these “personal issues” even though I do not identify myself as “Girl Scouts of Hawai’i”, which is the way your official business is typically signed, in my experience.
I been a Girl Scout Leader for around ten years, and as you stated in your letter, yes, I am a former “Service Unit Delegate and Voting Member of the Council.”
I would have expected Hawaii Girl Scouts to error on the side of caution to protect the safety of the Girls concerning this potential danger.
I have not seen that in any way, shape or form.
From your letters, I can only ascertain, Hawaii Girl Scouts is more concerned about MY CONDUCT and your IMAGE, than about the potential dangers to children and adults at the Girl Scout Camp and Pohakuloa.
I have seen nothing else in your letters of policies and procedures. Shame on you.
If you really cared about the Girl Scouts as you claim in your policies (not your actions), you would CLOSE THE GIRL SCOUT CAMP at Kilohana until independent testing for Depleted Uranium is completed by different independent labs in different locations, inside and outside of Pohakuloa, including the target areas used in Pohakuloa, throughout the past 50 years, and the whole area is declared safe and free from DU and continuous monitoring stations are set up and monitored regularly.
You would have thanked me for warning you of the potential dangers at The Girl Scout Camp and Pohakuloa.
You would have immediately sent out an official notice that the Twilight Camp was cancelled, and you would have never even considered Boys and Girls Day at Pohakuloa until the above concerns were addressed, the area was declared safe, and checks and balances were in place.
And you would have been writing your own letters about your concerns about Depleted Uranium to Governor Lingle, local representatives, and the media, inquiring about the safety of your Girl Scout Camp at Kilohana and for the children in your care, and signed them officially, “Girl Scouts of Hawai’i”.
Yes, Shame on you.
Do you think I should be part of an organization that is more concerned about their policies and image than the REAL DANGERS of Depleted Uranium exposure on children?
Maybe you are the ones who should look in the mirror.

Dear Girls Scouts of Hawaii,
You might want to find out if DU (Depleted Uranium) is up there at Pohakaloa,
before you go breathing that stuff, and taking little girls up there… most of you have been on my list for months….
you have been warned and could be open to lawsuits (and so could the State) if you ignore the warnings…
this stuff is REAL ….. the Strykers are up there NOW… moving the dirt and dust around.

IS MAUNA KEA….. A SUPERFUND SITE?
Do Hawaii’s Children have to breath
Depleted Uranium (DU) Toxic Dust
when they play in our school yards?
We would like to know…
but, Senate Ways & Means Chair Roz Baker and House Finance Chair Marcus Oshiro,
are not going to let us find out.
They have NOT FUNDED bill HB1452,
a bill to test for DU at Scofield Barracks.
We should ask them why they did not fund this important health bill,
a bill that is listed as a High Priority on the Democratic Agenda
in a year with a $700 Million Dollar Surplus…
and while we are asking, let’s expand HB1452 to cover
all the Hawaiian Islands, including Pohakaloa on Hawaii Island.
Let’s Protect Our O’hana.
Call Senator Baker and Representative Marcus Oshiro and ask if it is safe for
Girl Scouts to camp out and play in the dirt next to Pohakaloa.
Here is the link to the Bill HB 1452 they did not fund… and might or might not… in a year..
and it does not include testing anywhere but Scofield, to bad for the other islands!
http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/site1/docs/getstatus2.asp?billno=HB1452
I for one, am NOT willing to wait a year while little Girl Scouts play in the dirt
next to Pohakaloa and we breath the dust. What about you?

KITV reported on high radiation readings on the Kona Coast LAST WEEK!!!
***MAHEA***}
Some activists are claiming the U-S Army is firing depleted uranium on gunnery ranges in Hawaii … and that it’s contaminating the state with radioactive fallout.
[Anchor:DAN]
{***DAN***}
The U-S Army denies using these types of rounds when it practices in Hawaii.
But as KITV 4′s Dick Allgire reports… those raising the allegations claim they have proof.
Leuren Moret is a world renown expert on the subject of depleted uranium. She travels the globe giving presentations about the dangers of spreading nano particles of radioactive uranium through bombs and bullets.
IT’S NOT HARMLESS IT’S EXTREMELY TOXIC
On April 22nd she took geiger counter readings in South Kona on the Big Island.
NATS SOUND “57. IT’S GETTING HIGHER.”
Normal background radiation would be 5 to 20 counts per minute. On this day she took readings of up to 93, which experts say is abnormal and quite high.
THAT IS HORRENDOUS AND IT COULD ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING LIVE FIRE WITH DEPLETED URANIUM AT POHAULOA WHILE WE WERE DOING THE MEASUREMENTS.
Leuren Moret claims the Army is using depleted uranium on the Pohakuloa firing range, and the wind is blowing it over South Kona.
The army insists is does not use depleted uranium in Hawaii. Dr. Lorrin Pang is a public health officialin Hawaii, but in this interview says he is speaking only as a concerned physician.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT’S FROM IT IS HIGH. IT HAS TO BE LOOKED AT. NEW FURTHERMORE SHE WENT AROUND THE TRAINING AREA AND I GUESS IT WAS HIGH DOWNWIND OF THE RANGE WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE A SMOKING GUN
ALL OF THE BOMBING AND GUNNERY RANGES ARE CONTAMINATED IN HAWAII WITH DEPLETED URANIUM ALREADY.
