UCS: We Need Leadership, Not New Nuclear Weapons
February 13th, 2007 10:19 pm by KellyVia the Union of Concerned Scientists:
We Need Leadership, Not New Nuclear Weapons
The Bush administration is seeking funding for an initiative to develop new nuclear weapons and recondition the weapons manufacturing infrastructure left over from the Cold War—launching a new, costly, and unnecessary cycle of nuclear weapon design, development, and production.
At the same time, many prominent people, including former Republican Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, are calling for the United States to take the lead in efforts toward a “World Free of Nuclear Weapons.”
It’s time for real leadership and dialogue on nuclear weapons, not to build new ones. Join these efforts today by urging your senators and representative to reject funding for the administration’s misguided plans and to use their leadership, voice, and votes to help achieve the goal of zero nuclear weapons.
