People vs. Tanaka
To LDP and New Komeito leaders:
As citizens across Japan we are dismayed at the appointment of Shunichi Tanaka, a nuclear insider, as chair of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. As leaders of the largest opposition bloc in the Diet, you have the power to block Tanaka’s appointment at the next Diet session. We call on you to uphold the Japanese public’s demand for a fair and independent NRC by rejecting Tanaka Shunichi’s appointment.

Tanaka’s appointment would be the nuclear industry’s dream. As a board member of the Nuclear Damage Compensation Committee, he even opposed compensation for voluntary evacuation for people living in Fukushima! But there’s still a hurdle -- for Noda’s appointment to stick, legislators must approve it at the next Diet session. Insiders say members of the LDP and New Komeito -- the biggest opposition bloc in the Diet -- are split on the matter. If we can channel public outrage in their direction before they return from recess, the whole plan could crumble.
The next Diet session is expected to begin in weeks. Call on LDP and New Komeito leaders to vote against the appointment of Tanaka by signing this petition and forward it widely. When we reach 30,000 signatures, we’ll deliver it straight to their Tokyo headquarters.
