Commemorating a Dark Day
August 6th the U.S. Opened Pandora's
Box
August 6th is the 63rd anniversary of the
day that an American atom bomb destroyed Hiroshima, Japan in an
instant. It's a day for somber reflection, but also an opportunity
to look forward and insist that our leaders take concrete steps
to eliminate the nuclear threat.
Peace Action affiliates all over the country will
hold vigils and events to bring attention to this tragic anniversary.
Every year Peace Action sends one of our dedicated activists to
Hiroshima to represent the peace movement at events in Japan. This
year we are sending George Martin, Program Director of Peace Action
Wisconsin. When he returns George will be touring the Mid-West as
part of our Peace Voter grassroots
campaign. He’ll beworking with Peace Action organizers and
new activists to work with
Peace Voters before this pivotal election season ends.
Why not start now? Both Senators
McCain and Obama have stated this year that they support the goal
of a nuclear weapons free world. Please contact the Presidential
campaigns by e-mail and ask them "what is your plan to get
there?" And be sure to ask for a reply.
