Resistance to pro Nuclear Bills now in USA Congress

If there are going to be voices to counter the insanity of new bomb plants in the name of arms control, they will have to be ours. If there are going to be people standing to say NO!, they will have to be us.”

Bills making their way through Congress right now include the largest single increasein nuclear weapons funding in history.

(USA) Morning of Resistance’ at Y-12 July 5 | Frank Munger, knoxnews.com, 9 June 2010, “The timing is right–and not just because2010 marks the anniversaries of such auspiciousorganizations and actions. Last year, President BarackObama declared himself committed to a world freeof nuclear weapons. Whatever his ambitions mayhave been, they have gotten waylaid by the statusquo power brokers who are determined to maintain nuclear dominance and a highly funded industry that is determined to build more nuclear reactors at taxpayer expense.

“How bad is it? Bills making their way throughCongress right now include the largest single increasein nuclear weapons funding in history. The STARTTreaty, ostensibly an agreement to reduce the nuclearthreat, is being turned on its head as Republicans aredemanding a new generation of bomb plants in the USin return for thinking about voting to ratify the treaty.The nuclear industry and the weaponeers have notbeen shy about pushing hard against the President’svision of a nuclear free future. They have pushed sohard that even arms control advocates are going along with them.
Now is the time to push back. If there are going to
be voices to counter the insanity of new bomb plants
in the name of arms control, they will have to be ours.
If there are going to be people standing to say NO!,
they will have to be us.” ‘Morning of Resistance’ at Y-12 July 5 | Frank Munger’s Atomic City Underground | knoxnews.com
