Thank You for Encouraging Your Senators to Ratify the New START Agreement
|
Dear President Obama, We wholeheartedly applaud you for declaring in Prague, "I state clearly and with conviction America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons." We commend you for your courageous and historic recognition that "as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act." We call on you to make good on that commitment and fulfill that responsibility by announcing at the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference your initiation of good faith multilateral negotiations on an international agreement to abolish nuclear weapons, within our lifetimes! Yes we can! ***Click here to download a paper copy of the petition*** |
“One nuclear weapon exploded in one city – be
it New York or Moscow, Islamabad or Mumbai, Tokyo or Tel Aviv,
Paris or Prague – could kill hundreds of thousands of
people. And no matter where it happens, there is no end to
what the consequences might be – for our global safety,
our security, our society, our economy, to our ultimate survival.” -- President Barack Obama, Prague, April 5, 2009 |
