nuclear free zone resolutions

Many states, counties, and cities have adopted resolutions, some new, some from the 1980s, declaring themselves to be places where production, transport, and storage of nuclear weapons and the materials to build them are prohibited. 

This pdf is a template provided by Physicians for Social Responsibility  for us to compose such resolutions to present to our own community legislative bodies, city councils, county boards of commissioners, state legislatures, and congress
