“You wonder why, exactly, we’re still talking about nuclear weapons?” asks Ploughshares Fund grantee Heather Hurlburt [2] of the National Security Network [3] on the Daily Beast [4]. “So does Hillary. Clinging to nuclear weapons in excess of our security needs does not make the United States safer.” Hurlburt, former speechwriter to President Clinton and then-senator Clinton, breaks down Secretary of State Clinton’s speech [5] on the most important security issue the United States faces for Americans who might not have read about it. The Council for a Livable World [6] is also gathering support for the President's nuclear agenda [7], so please check them both out!
