February 26, 2015 (San Diego) -- Monstah Superpac, a San Diego-based political action committee dedicated to protecting public health and safety, aims to “make the nuclear waste at San Onofre disappear.”

The SuperPac’s first target?  San Diego Congressman Darrell Issa, over his failure to address the public safety hazards posed by those radioactive wastes, buried in canisters just 5/8 of an inch deep in an active earthquake zone. A nuclear disaster at San Onofre would place 20 million Southern Californians within a 50 mile radius at serious risk, potentially displacing residents in multiple counties including San Diego.

MonstahPac is rolling out its Network 2016, billed as the “final frontier in our fight against nuclear danger at San Onofre,” with a “Magic at Magicopolis” event Saturday, February 28th.

The event will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday at Magicopolis, 1418 Fourth Street in Santa Monica. Celebrities are expected to be in attendance.  

Monstah Pac is the brainchild of David Eisenstein, a Carlsbad resident who set out to counter the “dark money” 501c4 SuperPacs funded by conservative billionaires and big business interests.

In an interview with the East County Magazine Radio Show on KNSJ, Edelstein said he seeks to level the playing field created by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United case which allows virtually unlimited donations to candidates through SuperPacs.

MonstahPac also plans to take aim at other politicians who are deniers of climate change, seeks to support candidates who back causes such as recycling, gun safety, police body cameras, and wider use of automated external defribrillators to save lives during sudden cardiac arrest.

In the KNSJ interview, Eistenstein suggested that another San Diego Congressman, Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) could be next in the crosshairs for MonstahPac due to his stances on nuclear issues and climate change.
