A Nuclear Weapons-Free World: An Appeal to the Next U.S. President

Target: Next President of the United States
Sponsored by: Nuclear Age Peace Foundation

Nuclear weapons could destroy civilization and end intelligent life on the planet. The only sure way to prevent nuclear proliferation -- before the next blinding flash -- is to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

The United States must take the initiative to urgently take the following steps:

* De-alert. Remove all nuclear weapons from high-alert status;
* No First Use. Make legally binding commitments to No First Use of nuclear weapons;
* No New Nuclear Weapons. Initiate a moratorium on the research and development of new nuclear weapons;
* Ban Nuclear Testing Forever. Ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty;
* Control Nuclear Material. Create a verifiable treaty to bring all weapons-grade nuclear material under strict international control;
* Nuclear Weapons Convention. Commence negotiations to achieve the phased, verifiable and irreversible elimination of nuclear weapons;
* Resources for Peace. Reallocate the tens of billions spent on nuclear arms to alleviating suffering and disease around the world.

Call upon the next President to make a world free of nuclear weapons an urgent priority.

Dear President of the United States:

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, but 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;

We signed the “A Nuclear Weapons-Free World: An Appeal to the Next U.S. President” petition!

After Carter/Reagan began limiting and actually destroying some of our nuclear arsenal what would be the sense of building it up again. Especially after Bushs' pre-emptive strike on Iraq for no good reason. This is paranoiid insanity don't let it happen.

It would take just one thoughtless act by an incompetent person to end the world as we know it. We must eliminate these weapons....this should be a top goal.

All nukes must be eliminated. They do not generate security, they threaten it. The US must lead the process of nuclear disarmament.
