Download a high resolution photo Ms. Heald on nuclear weapons: "Major progress towards a world without nuclear weapons is both crucial for global security and achievable in our lifetimes. That's if we take the necessary steps today. "President Obama has taken some modest but important first steps down this path, but the time has come for truly bold leadership. That's why more than 150 organizations have joined forces through the Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Free World to promote practical steps today to free the world from nuclear weapons tomorrow." |
