Help Reduce the World's Worst Weapons:
Support the Senate on the Historic Nuclear Arms Pact

Last year, the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I) expired, leaving no verifiable nuclear arms control agreement in effect between the world's two largest nuclear powers, the United States and Russia.

Now, the Senate is on the verge of taking up a new and stronger U.S.-Russian nuclear disarmament agreement: the New START Treaty. If ratified, the treaty will reduce deployed U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons by about a third, to the lowest level in more than half a century. This will require the support of two-thirds of the Senate — no easy task, especially in an election year. Opposition groups are already mobilizing to defeat the treaty, so we really need your help. Senate action is pending — and YOU can make a difference!

ACT NOW — Tell your Senators to support the New START Treaty!
