Tell the Senate to Ban Landmines!
Target: US Senate
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
Landmines maim or kill approximately 15,000 civilians every year, including 4,000 to 5,000 children. They are still in the ground in at least 70 countries.
In 1999, the Mine Ban Treaty was created to ban all antipersonal mines and clear all mines from the ground. It also urges assistance for victims of landmines, 30-40% of which are children under the age of 15.
Today, 156 countries are party to the Mine Ban Treaty. Though the U.S. has not used land mines in 17 years, our participation in the agreement would improve our standing in the world community, and it would put pressure on countries who are holding out on the ban, such as Russia and Myanmar.
It is time the U.S. signed on and provided one more step toward making the treaty universal. Tell your senators to ratify the Mine Ban Treaty this year.

This is a pro-life thing to do: It stops death and destruction. That's about as pro-life as you can get since it keeps the already born from being killed. Assisting the mine victims is a pro-life thing to do as well. It helps them have better lives. 156 countries are being pro-life by banning these mines. Let's really be pro-life and ban mines.
