Today - Monday, May 24, 2010 - would have been Carrie Dickerson's 93rd birthday!!!
Please join The Carrie Dickerson Foundation, Citizens' Action for Safe Energy, all her friends in the sustainability community, both in Oklahoma, across the U.S., perhaps around the world, and those in many other walks of life who were so positively touched by her gentle and magnificent spirit as we remember her. Help us to commemorate and celebrate her life and her work to protect Oklahoma's environment and to ensure that safe alternative energy sources are the ones we turn to as the future unfolds.
We are having an online birthday blast for Carrie! Here are some things you can do to join in the celebration and help to make sure that her courageous victory for life and a safe environment is never forgotten - and that Oklahoma remains a nuclear free state of alternative and renewable energy!
1) Please call Governor Brad Henry's office and make sure he knows we are asking him to veto SB 1668, which is supposed to be on his desk for action at this moment. SB 1668 would amend the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority Act to allow municipal power authorities to buy energy from nuclear facilities (either outside or inside the state) AND invest in nuclear facilities (also inside or outside the state), both of which are prohibited under current state law. SB 831 (the other pro-nuclear bill this session) has been thankfully defeated in committee. Let's make sure SB 1668 does not become law either. Call 405-521-2342 and let your voice be heard!
2) Please join The Carrie Dickerson Foundation if you have not already become a member. If you are on facebook we have a facebook cause page ~ Help The Carrie Dickerson Foundation Carry On! ~ and you can join us there at http://www.causes.com/causes/212926?recruiter_id=22165949
Let's see if we can really grow our numbers today as a birthday present for Carrie!! Please tell all your green facebook friends to join our cause! How many people can we gather?? Let's shoot for 500!!!
If you are not on facebook, please contact us through our website at www.carriedickersonfoundation.com and be sure to keep checking this blog at where we are working to keep up to date info posted.
3) If you would like to donate to the Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit educational foundation, you can do so through the facebook cause page, or by sending a donation to:
The Carrie Dickerson Foundation
PO Box 52343
Tulsa, OK 74152
Since facebook has set a minimum of $10, get together with a friend if $5 is better for you. Every bit will help us carry on with Carrie's work!
We are working on several projects, and once we get these nuclear bills off the legislative table again, we will be focusing again on getting Carrie's Windmill History book published, in a condensed form for children to be placed in schools and libraries across the state, as well as the comprehensive complete version for all of us to learn from. Fascinating stuff! We are also working to promote light rail passenger service for Tulsa and connecting locations, and working with other sustainable groups to promote awareness of alternative and renewable energy resources in this beautiful state of ours! Thank you, everyone - AND
THANK YOU CARRIE DICKERSON!!!!
Please forward this info to any and all friends of Carrie and friends of the Earth! We can make a difference together!
