To President Obama: I Support the Test Ban Treaty

September 28, 2011

On Friday, September 23rd, foreign ministers from 100 countries met at the UN Headquarters in New York to promote the entry into force of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

In the early 1960s, PSR helped lead a movement against atmospheric testing that led to the ratification of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963. PSR has now joined a nation-wide coalition of activists to push this vital issue forward. This common-sense treaty is an essential part of international efforts to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

The Administration has expressed support for the CTBT. With your help throughout 2010, the New START agreement was ratified and both countries have started to dismantle their massive strategic nuclear arsenals. We need your help again.

Now we have to ramp up efforts to educate our elected officials on the compelling reasons to ban nuclear weapons testing. Our first step will be to petition the Administration to take up the ratification of CTBT as a priority as soon as possible. The White House has just released a new platform for citizens to voice their concern over issues and, if we can gather 5,000 signatures, the White House will review the petition and send us an official response.

Can you sign this petition, share it with friends & family, and help us get to 5,000 signatures?
