Hear the radio spot on the 5th Anniversary of the Iraq War

---------

Plan to attend a special event on Friday, August 6, 2010, that focuses on PSR's central goal of preventing nuclear war by abolition of nuclear weapons. A reception and speakers will precede the premier showing in Pittsburgh of this extraordinary new film: COUNTDOWN TO ZERO Harris Theater - 809 Liberty Avenue 6:30 reception * 7:30 speakers * 8:00 screening This new documentary, with the same producer as that of the renowned An Inconvenient Truth, presents "inconvenient truth" about nuclear weapons and the urgent imperative of nuclear abolition. Concurrently, it is opening in dozens of US cities to launch and promote a new US and global campaign to abolish nuclear weapons worldwide. It has been widely praised by critics. This opening in Pittsburgh on August 6 coincides with the 65th anniversary of the first nuclear bombing of a city - Hiroshima in Japan. This is being presented as part of the initiative of "Remembering Hiroshima, Imagining Pease - 2010, a consortium of Pittsburgh groups."

PROMOTING SMART SECURITY PLATFORM

For more than a year since Physicians for Social Responsibility and others have promulgated the SMART SECURITY PLATFORM, it has been promoted nationally by endorsement of many organizations, and locally in the Pittsburgh area by presentations to civic groups and by petitions. This is consonant with Congressman John Murtha's recent declaration that the United States should "......terminate the deployment of U.S. forces in Iraq.." and "....pursue security and stability in Iraq through diplomacy."

Adoption and implementation of these ideas by any present or future U.S. Congress and Administration will make us safer from the dangers of terrorism. Please contact us if you want to help or learn more about this campaign.
