Script

“Hi, my name is ___________ and I live in ____________, Ohio . I am calling to ask Representative __________ to oppose HB 282 the radioactive brine as a commodity bill. I am deeply concerned  about the spreading of this highly radioactive waste in Ohio communities. HB 282 would allow anyone, anywhere to spread  this substance for dust or ice control. The Ohio Turnpike and Department of Transportation will no longer use it, the Ohio Department of Health has not studied the long-term effects and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said that  the bill is not protective of public health or the environment. 

Please tell Representative/ _________ to oppose this legislation. We need him/her to be a strong opponent of HB282 and stand to protect Ohioans’ health and safety. The health and safety of our communities and our children are more  important than one individual's profit.
