Real Prize: Global Elimination

October 9, 2009

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama “attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.”

As advocates who have worked long and hard for nuclear disarmament, let us use this moment to amplify the call for transformational change.  Tomorrow, your local newspapers will be filled with reports on the awarding of the prize.  Your voice needs to be heard! 

Help us generate a flood of letters to the editor affirming that nuclear weapons are a liability to national security and human health.  Reducing their role in security policy is a critical first step in their global elimination. 

We urge you to write a letter-to-the-editor calling for these concrete actions:

  • Deep cuts in U.S. and Russian nuclear stockpiles.
  • End to development of new nuclear weapons.
  • Swift senate ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
