There are over 36,000
nuclear weapons on the planet.

More countries are building bombs
while unsecured nuclear stockpiles
are a target for terrorists.

Stop nuclear madness!
Send a message to the people
who can prevent nuclear havoc.

*******************************************
Join millions of people and send a message to our
elected leaders to tell them TIME'S UP! for nuclear
weapons.  FORWARD THIS MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE!!

On April 24, the nations of the world will assemble at
the United Nations for a four week conference to review
the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The 1970
NPT was a pledge from the whole world not to acquire
nuclear weapons in return for a promise from the five
nuclear states (United States, Soviet Union, United
Kingdom, France and China) to eliminate nuclear
weapons.

Instead, we now have over 36,000 nuclear bombs on
the planet -- 5,000 of them poised on hair trigger alert in
the U.S. and Russia. India and Pakistan joined the
nuclear club two years ago and Israel admitted it had
the bomb last year. Currently, American efforts to build
a "son of Star Wars" violates the 1972 Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty. This blatant violation has resulted in
new nuclear saber rattling in Russia and China.

The world is at a critical crossroads. Either the
Millennial NPT review will keep the promises made to
rid the world of nuclear bombs or a new runaway
nuclear arms race will proliferate around the globe. In
one quick step, you can make a difference. Send a
message to the people who can prevent nuclear havoc
by telling them TIME'S UP! for nuclear weapons.
