Student Questionnaire-Tell us What you Think!

A professional poll showed an astounding percentage (84% of the 1,000-plus constituents polled) want to abolish nuclear weapons. The majority of congressmen and senators have not heard from these people. Students have the ideals, energy, and contacts to make a big difference in encouraging people to write. Since 1994 there has been a bill in Congress which can begin the process of nuclear disarmament and economic conversion of the war machines. It’s important that people know about it. We hope to encourage as many student activists as possible to help with an intensive Lobbying campaign that will reach every voting district in the country.

INTRODUCTION

PROPOSITION ONE
WHAT IS IT?

The Proposition One Committee of Washington D.C. would like to introduce you to an idea whose time has come.

Proposition One is a grassroots campaign for global nuclear disarmament and economic conversion – using the billions of dollars saved to retool, retrain nuclear weapons industries, and provide for human needs, such as housing, health care, education, agriculture, environmental restoration, and alternative energy.

The horrible hidden history of nuclear accidents, radiation tests, criminally negligent waste disposal, of nuclear explosions and stockpiles, is slowly coming to light, thanks to whistleblowers inside government and out. But the information will be meaningless unless it leads us to a profound revision of policy.
