The RRW hydrogen bomb and the so-called "Complex 2030." The Bush administration is seeking approval to move now toward replacing all US nuclear warheads, at an eventual price of $150 billion with a plan called "Complex 2030." A total of 10,000 new H-Bomb warheads would be produced. Yet even the Bush administration agreees that the warheads in the current high-alert arsenal are good for 85 years, and the oldest is only 35 years old - rendering replacements unnecessary.
Not only would this be incredibly expensive, but it could encourage other nations to replace their warheads, and non-nuclear states to go nuclear.
Check in the Action section, about what we can do to stop new nuclear weapons.
For one thing, there's now S. Bill 1915 in the US Senate, the bi-partisan Feinstein-Collins Bill,
which mandates that we build no new H-bombs for at least several years, while Congress
and the new President can re-examine our nuclear policy.
Write your Senator or House Member now, and tell her/ him to:
Stop any new nuclear weapons. We don't need them, and the steep, $150 Billion price tag is
unconscionable, when the administration seeks to deny S-CHIP children's health, increased
veteran's health coverage for iraq veterans who sorely need it, and enhanced college loans
and Pell Grants for students.
Can we do it? We must do it, for our health and future security.
Take Action!
The Administration's recent talks with North Korea's government underscore the need to do the same with Iran. Join with PNA in urging President Bush to launch talks, not missiles, with Iran.
Act Now PAKISTAN IS AT A CROSSROADS. The U.S. needs to help move Pakistan towards democracy - not toward dictatorship and increased peril.
This winter and spring, PNA and many thousands of Americans helped to pressure Congress and the White House about elections in Pakistan. These have now been held, and civilian parties defeated
the Musharref regime's leadership. While the situation is still serious, we thank all those who helped. We should also stay "on the case," to make sure Pakistan doesn't slide into autocracy again-- still a possibility.
Equally important, Pakistan's nuclear weapons are not fully secured. We need to work to get them disarmed.
Act Now Write to your Congress Member to oppose the proposed new hydrogen bomb, the so-called "RRW" and it's supporting production infrastructure "Complex 2030."
Act Now We agree with the International Court of Justice, "the threat or use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, and in particular the principles and rules of humanitarian law." Act now, sign on to the Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Free World.
