SONGS is an old nuclear power plant that is at extreme risk of catastrophic meltdowns just like Fukushima.  It needs to be dismantled and decommissioned!  If you would like to help us get SONGS shut down, please visit:

Question for viewers:

If kids can figure it out, why can't adults?

Transcript:

San Clemente Mayor Lori Donchak:
"Ella how old are you?"

Ella:
"I'm nine."

Madam Mayor:
"Okay.  Thank you for coming."

Ella:
"Our town is like Japan's Fukushima town.  Here are the reasons why:  The parents and adults in Fukushima told their kids not to be afraid of the nuclear power plant on an earthquake fault line in their neighborhood.  So did some of ours.  They say that their power plant could handle a tsunami.  So did some of ours.  But they were wrong.  Don't give our town's adults time to be wrong.  Please shut down the nuclear power plant."

"Ella for president!" (from audience)
