President Must Match Actions to Words on Nuclear Weapons
President Must Match Actions to Words on Nuclear Weapons
Right now, the Department of Defense is conducting a "Nuclear Posture Review." This is our chance to urge President Obama to set a new, safer direction for U.S. nuclear weapons policy.
President Must Match Actions to Words on Nuclear Weapons
Nuclear weapons are a liability, not an asset. Not only do they not protect us from current threats like terrorism, but with some 20,000 warheads around the globe, there is enormous risk for accidents or for them to fall into the wrong hands.
President Obama’s compelling speech in Prague in April calling for “an end to Cold War thinking” and the recent initial agreement with Russian President Medvedev on nuclear arsenal reductions are positive steps toward reducing the nuclear threat. However, much more must happen to truly transform U.S. nuclear weapons policy, and those who are stuck in a Cold War mindset will fight against the necessary changes every step of the way.
Right now, the Department of Defense is conducting a comprehensive “Nuclear Posture Review” that will determine whether we will have more Cold War thinking or truly transformational change. Write to President Obama, as well as key administration officials, urging him to take advantage of this opportunity to set a new, safer direction for U.S. nuclear weapons policy.
Please make your letter personal by adding in your own thoughts and concerns. Every letter makes a difference, but customized letters have the greatest effect!
