Online Petition to Demand Trident Cancellation

The UK Parliament will be voting on whether to renew the UK's Trident
nuclear missile program on March 14, 2007 -- less than two weeks away.
If Trident is renewed, this ensures that the UK will have nuclear
weapons far into the future. As members of an international community
committed to the abolition of nuclear weapons, we must make our
collective voices heard on this issue.

US medical student Tova Fuller, in consultation with IPPNW's UK
affiliate, Medact, has created an online petition demanding the
cancellation of the Trident replacement. You can read and sign the
petition at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Trident_Petition. Please
forward this web address to all of your contacts. The petition deadline
is March 7, to allow enough time to disseminate the text and signatures
to key Members of Parliament before the debate.

More information about Trident and the blockade at the UK submarine
base at Faslane can be found at the IPPNW student website --
