Tell 2008 Presidential Candidates Your Ideas About Nuclear Nonproliferation
Sponsored by: the Better World CampaignThe greatest security threat today—not just for the United States, or for the West, but for the world—is the possibility that a terrorist group could acquire a nuclear weapon and set it off in a major city.
Leaders in the White House, the Congress and in the community of nations have repeatedly acknowledged the threat of a terrorist nuclear attack. They have used inspiring words and made solemn commitments to counter the danger. But our collective deeds have not matched our words—we need to reinvigorate our actions at home and abroad.
To address the threat of nuclear terrorism and weapons proliferation, the United States must strengthen international nuclear agreements, including through the United Nations.
In order to successfully keep the world safe from nuclear weapons, the United States must do the following:
• Reduce the global supply of nuclear weapons through arms reduction and nonproliferation initiatives.
• Limit the spread of nuclear weapons technology.
• Globally secure nuclear weapons material such as plutonium and highly enriched uranium to the highest possible standard.
• Implement a multi-state effort to address the root causes of discontent underlying radical Islam.
Now it's your turn. Sign this petition today to tell the 2008 presidential candidates what you think they should do, On Day One of their Administration, to protect against a nuclear attack and stop proliferation.

Not only is there the potential for more Chernobyl-type catastrophes, but also the terrorism threat makes nuclear proliferation one of the most insane things we humans can do. Stop the insanity!

Nuclear weapons and nuclear power must be eliminated. They're just too dangerous.

It is crazy to think that the world has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world several times over. It's time for humans to quit trying to destroy ourselves.

Would it make a difference, if legitimate (Sic) Governments e.g.USA ordered use of nuclear weapons in war, instead of terrorist groups?? It is most unethical for U.S.A. to preach control of nuclear weapons - of all nations it is U.S.A that has the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons !!

Getting rid of 100% of the worlds nuclear bombs may be impossible, but we must demand that countries around the world simultaneously disassemble their stockpiles(s).
