(I include another copy of it below.) This legislation is particularly important now that the politicians are scrambling for short AND long-term solutions to terrorism. The people who have signed on so far are listed at the bottom of the letter. You're invited to add your name. I plan to deliver it on September 30th, barring further unforeseen circumstances. I will include a cover note; perhaps you have something you would recommend I say. Very grateful to you all for your clear thinking.... Ellen Thomas - -- September, 2001 Senator Paul Wellstone Fax: 202-224-8438 Secretary of Energy 717 Hart SOB Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Wellstone: We found it surprising when one of your aides said recently that he thinks introducing a Senate version of HR-2503, the "Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act," is an "impractical" idea. See http://prop1.org/prop1/hr2503.htm. Last year one of your aides said that you would probably support Delegate Norton's "Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act" if Jesse Helms weren't Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. He said that you were concerned about veterans' issues, primarily, but might be convinced that this bill was worth co-introducing with other Senators. Jesse Helms is no longer Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. If we can tell other Senators that you will co-introduce with them, this will help us get further support. To respond to the aide's dismissal that the idea is "impractical": 187 countries, including the U.S., promised in May, 2000, to abolish nuclear weapons, but haven't set a date. Our purpose here is to make it happen, to make global nuclear disarmament the LAW. Treaties aren't enforceable unless backed by national laws. National laws rarely happen without regional or local initiatives. We have proven that most people from every region of the country and the Earth favor global nuclear disarmament. This is do-able. It requires visionary thinking, a touch of faith, and a large portion of hope. What else is America about? Let me explain how HR-2503 would work. It would be a statement to the world that the U.S. is serious about global nuclear disarmament. It is a promise that the U.S. will get rid of its nuclear weapons IF everyone else does; and will use the money saved to shut down and clean up the nuclear weapons industries, and to begin converting other war industries into something good for society. For example, instead of building missiles and bombs, factories could be retooled and people could be paid to mass-produce solar panels, windmills, hydrogen fuel cells ... an entirely new, massively profitable industry which can transform all our societies. No one need lose. HR-2503 is entirely a win-win idea. I would like a personal meeting, as a fellow Minnesotan, to discuss this.

Dear Senator Wellstone:

We found it surprising when one of your aides said recently that he thinks introducing a Senate version of HR-2503, the "Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act," is an "impractical" idea.   See http://prop1.org/prop1/hr2503.htm.

Last year one of your aides said that you would probably support Delegate Norton's "Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act" if Jesse Helms weren't Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.  He said that you were concerned about veterans' issues, primarily, but might be convinced that this bill was worth co-introducing with other Senators.  Jesse Helms is no longer Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.  If we can tell other Senators that you will co-introduce with them, this will help us get further support.

To respond to the aide's dismissal that the idea is "impractical":  187 countries, including the U.S., promised in May, 2000, to abolish nuclear weapons, but haven't set a date.  Our purpose here is to make it happen, to make global nuclear disarmament the LAW.  Treaties aren't enforceable unless backed by national laws.  National laws rarely happen without regional or local initiatives.  We have proven that most people from every region of the country and the Earth favor global nuclear disarmament.  This is do-able.  It requires visionary thinking, a touch of faith, and a large portion of hope.  What else is America about?

Let me explain how HR-2503 would work.  It would be a statement to the world that the U.S. is serious about global nuclear disarmament.  It is a promise that the U.S. will get rid of its nuclear weapons IF everyone else does; and will use the money saved to shut down and clean up the nuclear weapons industries, and to begin converting other war industries into something good for society.  For example, instead of building missiles and bombs, factories could be retooled and people could be paid to mass-produce solar panels, windmills, hydrogen fuel cells ... an entirely new, massively profitable industry which can transform all our societies.  No one need lose.  HR-2503 is entirely a win-win idea.
