I'm so happy right now that I'm crying. I've written about Divine Strake in the past, and I've been very much against it from the moment I heard about it. From the Salt Lake Tribune:
Breaking under a flood of public opposition to Divine Strake, the Pentagon announced Thursday that it would scrap plans to conduct the massive blast at the Nevada Test Site.
Some 10,000 Utahns and Nevadans expressed fears that the detonation of 700 tons of explosives could spew debris into the air, carrying radiation left over from Cold War nuclear weapons tests at the test site.
As Governor Huntsman said "Nothing can stop the power of the people, my friend."
And he's right. This is my first political vindication, something I worked hard to fight, and talked about non-stop to people that would listen. And I can't say that my own efforts made any difference, but "We, the people" did make a difference!
Congratulations, America!
