The first nuclear test brought a tide of nuclear weapons proliferation across the globe ... and 17,000 cancer deaths in the United States. These weapons do not address the threats of the 21st century....
Even so, the United States is set to spend $1 trillion over the next 30 years on nuclear weapons. We can stop this. We have the chance to roll back the tide and end the threat of nuclear weapons.
