March 28, 1979 - Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident occurred in which uranium in the reactor core overheated due to the failure of a cooling valve. A pressure relief valve then stuck causing the water level to plummet, threatening a catastrophic nuclear meltdown. The accident resulted in the release of radioactive steam into the atmosphere, and created a storm of controversy over the necessity and safety of nuclear power plants.
In Pennsylvania, filling your tank means sacrificing somewhere else.
With the 3rd highest gas tax in the country, that’s money families should be using for groceries, bills, and essentials.

As we commemorate America250, we honor Pierce Butler of South Carolina, a Founding Father and signer of the United States Constitution. Butler played a key role in shaping our nation’s founding framework and strengthening the principles that continue to guide America today.
His dedication to public service and commitment to building a strong republic remind us of the responsibility we share to preserve the freedoms secured by our Founders.
Join us as we celebrate the individuals who helped form our nation and reflect on the enduring legacy of America’s founding generation.
Some interesting facts about Pierce Butler:
-Born in Ireland in 1744, Butler served as an officer in the British Army before settling in South Carolina.
-He was one of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and played an active role in shaping the final document.
-Butler later served as a U.S. Senator from South Carolina, helping guide the young nation in its earliest years.
-His historical legacy is largely defined by his role as a staunch defender of Southern interests, specifically the institution of slavery.
