Union of Concerned Scientists

Today I joined the Union of Concerned Scientists again. I am after all, a concerned scientist.

No More Nuclear Weapons.

Today I signed the Union of Concerned Scientists
We Need Leadership, Not New Nuclear Weapons petition. Its bascially to tell congress that I oppose the Bush administration's plan for a new nuclear weapon--the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW)--and a new weapons manufacturing capability--Complex 2030.

"We cannot wait any longer to reduce the grave risks posed by nuclear weapons. Please give floor speeches and ask questions in hearings to begin a dialogue about U.S. nuclear weapons policy. Please also cast your vote against funding for RRW and the administration's Complex 2030 proposal."

As the 1,527th person to sign this petition, I helped them reach their goal of 5,000 signatures.
