Nuclear Weapons Agenda

Now is the time to make progress on elimination of nuclear weapons

National PSR has recommended that PSR members consider acting on Obama's message embracing the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons and laying out a bold agenda to turn that goal into reality.
     

Now it is our turn.  As Joe Cirincione said at our recent student PSR conference, “this is our moment”.  It is  our best chance in decades, perhaps in our lifetimes, to make substantial progress toward and perhaps achieve the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. 
  

Send OpEds and LTEs

Consider sending OpEds & LTEs to your local newspaper.   Note that we are striving for a balance between applauding Obama’s commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons, the other steps he’s initiating that we favor (including nuclear devaluing nuclear weapons within US military strategy), but also concern that he is not pushing for de-alerting (not mentioned by him) and emphasizing that all these steps are only steps toward the essential goal.
      

It is understood that his comments on moving forward with missile defense and nuclear power were not what we wanted to hear.  For now, we have determined it is best to go with the positive.  This really is an historic opportunity and we must take advantage of it.
