A New START for a nuclear free world!

Hearings on New START, a treaty between the United States and Russia, are currently underway, and it is critical that Senators hear from their constituents, expressing strong support for its ratification. New START is expected to come up for ratification before the Senate's August recess.

The treaty is a critical, if modest, step towards the goal of nuclear disarmament. Unfortunately, the timing of the vote has made it an easy target for political opportunism. With the vote coming up right before the elections, many on the Right would deny President Obama the ratification of New START for their own political gain.

Peace Action would urge you to contact your Senators this week and ask them to do all that they can to make the New START Treaty a reality.
