Help change the course of U.S. nuclear weapons policy

The Dept. of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration has
released its draft plan to revitalize the nuclear weapons complex at 8
locations across the country, including Livermore Lab.

The DOE calls the plan "Complex Transformation" (formerly known as "Complex
2030"). We call it "Bombplex."

The draft plan is in the form of a multi-volume Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement.

The most important thing to know is that the "Bombplex" plan is
fundamentally about the future of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex.

Do you want a revitalized weapons complex with added capabilities to
research, develop, test and produce new and militarily modified nuclear
bombs?

Or, do you want the U.S. to fully comply with the Non-Proliferation Treaty
and play a leadership role in achieving global nonproliferation and
disarmament?

Our future - and our children's future - hangs in the balance. How will we
answer?

Don't be silent. At the public hearings, you can speak on the changes you
want to see at the  Livermore Lab, or on U.S. policy. You can help
Tri-Valley CAREs and allied organizations make the hearings a public
referendum on nuclear weapons. You can help us stop open-air bomb blasts in
your back yard at Livermore Lab. You can end plutonium work at Livermore -
and promote "green" alternatives.

Come to one or both public hearings. Tri-Valley CAREs will have an
information table, sign-on letters, "talking points" and more.
