A Petition to President Obama
for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons
Dear President Obama,
We wholeheartedly applaud you for declaring
in Prague, "I state clearly and with conviction
America's commitment to seek the peace and security of
a world without nuclear weapons." We commend you
for your courageous and historic recognition that "as
the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon,
the United States has a moral responsibility to act." We
call on you to make good on that commitment and fulfill
that responsibility by announcing at the 2010 Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference your initiation
of good faith multilateral negotiations on an international
agreement to abolish nuclear weapons, within our lifetimes!
Yes we can!

“One nuclear weapon exploded in one city – be
it New York or Moscow, Islamabad or Mumbai, Tokyo or Tel Aviv,
Paris or Prague – could kill hundreds of thousands of
people. And no matter where it happens, there is no end to
what the consequences might be – for our global safety,
our security, our society, our economy, to our ultimate survival.” --
President Barack Obama, Prague, April 5, 2009
