Dear [Representative's Name],

My name is [Your First and Last Name], and I am a [family member / service provider / advocate / community member / constituent] who lives in your district.

I am writing as your constituent to express serious concerns about federal nuclear waste storage and transport policies affecting the Permian Basin and surrounding regions.

The Issue:

Federal agencies are making nuclear waste storage and transport decisions that will profoundly impact our communities without ensuring meaningful input from affected residents, businesses, and local governments.

These decisions affect our land, water resources, economy, and public safety.

Why This Matters:

  • Economic Impact: The Permian Basin contributes significantly to our state's economy and national energy security.
  • Water Resources: Nuclear waste storage threatens groundwater and surface water vital to agriculture and municipal supplies.
  • Community Safety: Increased nuclear waste transport raises emergency preparedness and public safety concerns.
  • Local Authority: Communities deserve a voice in decisions affecting their long-term future.

My Position:

I believe communities and states should have meaningful input in nuclear waste storage and transport decisions. These choices will affect our region for generations and should not be made without proper local consultation and consent.

Personal Impact (Customize):
