RE: EMERGENCY PASSPORTS FOR U.S. CITIZEN CHILDREN ABDUCTED TO AND WITHIN JAPAN
Dear Madam Secretary,
Bring Abducted Children Home (BAC Home) is an organization dedicated to raising awareness and facilitating the return of the at least 321 United States citizen children kidnapped to and/or wrongfully retained in Japan.
As Japan faces the tragic aftermath of their earthquakes and its increasingly likely and potentially devastating nuclear radiation exposure, our children are at immediate and present danger.
High-ranking Japanese government officials including Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano through the Associated Press have acknowledged signs of fuel rod melting to the likelihood of fuel rod melting. The Fukushima plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) through Reuters have openly acknowledge fuel rod exposure.
As ABC news among other sources the aircraft carrier “USS Ronald Reagan and other US Navy ships in the waters off the quake zone in eastern Japan were repositioned after the detection of a low-level radiation plume from the troubled Fukushima nuclear plant located 100 miles away.”
This was detected 100 miles away from the nuclear plant that continues on a potential path to meltdown.
We implore you to amend current Department of State policy and issue the victimized parents of the abducted U.S. citizen children emergency passports without their children being physically present. Due to the gravity of this crisis, time is of the essence.
This may be our one and only opportunity to save them and avoid adding further American tragedy to this situation where one could have been rapidly and proactively avoided.
Sincerely,
Members of BACHome
