Has anyone heard from their congressman?

Anonymous is asking:

Has anyone heard from his/her Congressman? I sent both a letter and email to Tauscher and haven't even had a form letter or automatic email response.

They don't care so why should we? The LLNL LANL original mission is finished and it will not return, until after we are attached equal to a Pearl Harbor.

You are never going to here from anyone. Why? LLNL isn't that big a deal. Everyone that works at LLNL has been told year after year how great and fabulous they are. It is a bunch of bologna. People at LLNL think the whole world revolves around them. How pathetic. I have suggested the top post on this blog be removed. May be it will be now.

And when that attack occurs, we lose big-time. And the other side will not give us the luxury of restarting the labs. It'll be over in just a few hours or days.

The fall of almost every great power started with the weakening of defenses for cost savings.

I've sent two email on LLNL issues to Congresswoman Tauscher in the past year and received both emails and specific letters back. I don't live in her district but used my LLNL mailing address/zip code to access her website and her letters reached me at the Lab. I've also spoken to one her aids in the DC office, and he called me back at home. Call the DC office (from your home, not the Lab), ask to speak to the aid that covers LLNL issues - you'll probably get his voice mail, but leave a message and phone number, he'll get back to you.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
