How to Lower Threat of Nuclear Holocaust

The following letter was sent to all North Carolina US Representatives and Senators on 11/21/25 

Dear North Carolina US Representatives and Senators, 

There are four things you can do to lower the threat of nuclear holocaust.

 

  1. Don’t continue to fund the destabilizing Sentinel Program.  Eliminating land-based ICBMs will be cheaper and safer.
  2. Don’t continue to fund the Golden Dome – infinitely expensive and no matter how much expensive missile defense you have, building more offensive weapons which are cheaper will overwhelm it.
  3. Don’t even dream of funding new nuclear weapons tests.  No nations except North Korea have tested nuclear weapons this century.  This is a leadership role the US must avoid.
  4. Do work to renew the US/Russia New START Treaty due to expire in February 2026.  Positively respond to the Russian proposal to extend the treaty’s quantitative limits for one year.  1550 long range warheads each   is enough to destroy human civilization.  Can’t have more!

 

Thanks for paying attention to these serious issues!  Enough powerful people paying attention might enable human history to continue.
