NUCLEAR WEAPONS
The terrible truth is: our nation built these damn things, and if we don't eliminate them now, sooner or later, many millions of innocent human beings, including our children, grandchildren, parents, friends and neighbors, could die horribly excruciating deaths.
After making substantial progress in disarmament over the last few decades, we are now rebuilding and upgrading our nuclear weapons stockpile. What went wrong?

This site contains information, technical and general, essays, and images about the current nuclear weapons situation in our world. The pages listed in the menus above are my attempts to make sense of some of the information I have been studying for many years now. There will be more, as the work continues. I don't have any answers, just a burning conviction that somebody has to do something. Maybe the issue needs more voices, maybe sharing the information with friends and family can help to grow the chorus. If you have information to share, or want to learn more, or have any suggestions about how we citizens can deal with this mess, please contact me. Tracy W Powell, 360-840-3826, tracy@nomorebombs.org
Please tell our government we want to be a nuclear weapon free nation,
and we want to start now.
Sign this petition to Congress: Require congressional approval before a president can launch a first strike of nuclear weapons.

What can we do right now?
This is currently the most important legislation, that we can urge our Senators and Representatives in Congress to cosponsor, endorse, and publicly support. It would require any president to get Congressional approval before launching a first strike with nuclear weapons.
Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act 2017, S. 200 and HR. 669: here are the texts of the bills:

Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act 2017, S. 200 and HR. 669: here are the texts of the bills:
Here are more bills that have been introduced. We can write and call our Congressional Representatives to cosponsor and support them too. HR 4140 requires any military action against North Korea to get Congressional approval first. HR 4837 does the same, but with a new sponsor, and the same list of cosponsors. S 2047 is the Senate equivalent. HR 3853 Calls for the elimination of all our nuclear weapons. HR 4415 declares that the US will never launch a nuclear first strike. All very good ideas! The latest bills include HR 6840 and S 3448, together known as the Hold the LYNE Act, which would prohibit the development of new "low yield" warheads, and S 3169, which calls for extending the New START treaty until 2026. S. 272 and its companion HR 921 are new versions of No First Use, introduced in 2019. S. 3667 aims to prevent a new nuclear arms race.
