Take Action Mailer

World Free of Nuclear Weapons

Please take a moment of your time to read and sign this! I've been a member of The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation for many years now, and they work very hard on our behalf to prevent nuclear proliferation.
Thank You,
Dori Montini-Kotzin
President WNYWOMEN.COM

The United States still maintains an arsenal of nearly 10,000 nuclear weapons – enough to destroy the world many times over.
The only sure way to prevent nuclear proliferation, nuclear terrorism and nuclear war – before the next blinding flash – is to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

The era of nuclear weapons must be brought to an end. This can be done. It will require leadership and commitment. Nuclear weapons were created by humans, and it is our responsibility to eliminate them before they eliminate us.

I hope you will join me in signing on to the Appeal to the next President, calling for US leadership for a world free of nuclear weapons. The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation will present the Appeal to the next President when he or she takes office on January 20, 2009.

We call upon the next President of the United States to make a world free of nuclear weapons an urgent priority and to assure US leadership to realize this goal.,

Nuclear weapons could destroy civilization and end intelligent life on the planet. The only sure way to prevent nuclear proliferation, nuclear terrorism and nuclear war – before the next blinding flash – is to rid the world of nuclear weapons. The era of nuclear weapons must be brought to an end. This can be done. It will require leadership and commitment. Nuclear weapons were created by humans, and it is our responsibility to eliminate them before they eliminate us. The United States, as the world’s most militarily powerful nation, must take the initiative in convening and leading the nations of the world to urgently take the following steps: De-alert. Remove all nuclear weapons from high-alert status, separating warheads from delivery vehicles; No First Use. Make legally binding commitments to No First Use of nuclear weapons and establish nuclear policies consistent with this commitment; No New Nuclear Weapons. Initiate a moratorium on the research and development of new nuclear weapons, such as the Reliable Replacement Warhead; Ban Nuclear Testing Forever. Ratify and bring into force the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty; Control Nuclear Material. Create a verifiable Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty with provisions to bring all weapons-grade nuclear material and the technologies to create such material under strict and effective international control; Nuclear Weapons Convention. Commence good faith negotiations, as required by the Non-Proliferation Treaty, to achieve a Nuclear Weapons Convention for the phased, verifiable and irreversible elimination of nuclear weapons; Resources for Peace. Reallocate resources from the tens of billions currently spent on nuclear arms to alleviating poverty, preventing and curing disease, eliminating hunger and expanding educational opportunities throughout the world.

Sincerely,
