I can not be up to date and knowledgeable about all of them. If there is a bill that you think should be here that is not email me and I will add it.
is worth 100 typed ones and a thousand emails. The representatives do care to hear from you. So please write.
HR-2545
Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, at her press conference July 30th re-introducing her "Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act" (HR-2545), said people shouldn't just write letters; we should CALL Congresspeople and heads of state, then fax or write, then if possible follow up with another phone call, saying, "You've signed on to 'HR-2545' haven't you? You haven't? Well you sure should! Here's why!" THIS will achieve results, Norton promised. Perhaps it's worth a try?
I will not provide all this information for each bill because that would get redundant.

SAMPLE LETTER TO REPRESENTATIVES
Add your own first and last paragraphs, please!)
The Hon. __________________________
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington DC 20515
Dear Representative _________________
I ask you please to actively co-sponsor Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton's "Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act of 1999" (HR-2545), which she introduced on July 16, 1999, the 54th anniversary of the first nuclear weapons test at Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1945.
The proposed Act requires that: "The United States Government ... shall disable and dismantle all its nuclear weapons and refrain from replacing them at any time with any weapons of mass destruction ... and shall redirect resources that are currently being used for nuclear weapons programs to use .. in converting all nuclear weapons industry employees ... and programs ... to constructive, ecologically beneficial peacetime activities ... addressing human needs such as housing, health care, education, agriculture, and environmental restoration. This Act shall take effect when the President certifies to the Congress that all foreign countries possessing nuclear weapons have established legal requirements comparable... and those requirements have taken effect."
This legislation is a timely vehicle by which Congress can signal its intent to abide by Article 6 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. With international revelations by retired generals and admirals that nuclear weapons are unsafe, unnecessary, and insane -- with the July 8, 1996 World Court decision that nuclear weapons could and should be illegal -- with India and Pakistan first testing, and then calling for a U.N. convention to ban nuclear weapons worldwide -- with the development and use of deadly depleted uranium weapons -- with development of weapons in space -- with the growing global pressure for abolition of nuclear weapons -- with constituents everywhere still looking for the "Peace Dividend" -- this bill's time has come.
Since it goes into effect when ALL countries possessing nuclear weapons join the U.S. in nuclear disarmament and conversion of their war machines, it offers very little security risk and a great deal of good public relations. Domestically, it marks those funds formerly needed to produce and deploy nuclear weapons for conversion and cleanup .
How this might work.
In June, 1998, the Brookings Institute published a book, "Atomic Audit," also known as the Nuclear Weapons Cost Project. According to the Washington Post, this book proves that the U.S. government taxpayers have spent over 5.8 trillion dollars on nuclear weapons (alone). This amounts to a thousand dollars for every human being alive on the planet today.
Why not amortize $5.8 trillion into the future, the first few years to be spent paying workers to retrain while arms manufacturers (of all varieties) retool their factories? Why not pay these folks to produce wind-mills, solar panels, and hydrogen fuel cells, instead of missiles, guns, and warheads?
Nuclear power plants can produce nuclear weapons grade materials for warheads, and DO produce hideously dangerous waste which lasts for thousands of years, and which scientists still don't know what to do about. Therefore, we must stop producing any more waste, contain the existing waste WHERE IT IS until the final solution is found, and TURN AWAY from nuclear power.
Fossil Fuels are not the answer; some scientists predict that the world will run out of fossil fuels by the year 2050. Fossil-fuel energy systems are said to be causing the greenhouse effect, the hole in the ozone layer, and it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say the strange storm systems and flooding that have been increasing over the past decade.
The arms industrialists who choose to MASS-PRODUCE clean energy systems such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydrogen, hydro, will quickly make money, just as the computer industry has, and will help to transform society. Government subsidies may be necessary for startup, but taxpayers won't have to subsidize these new industries for long.
What's needed is legislation to begin the process. Ms. Norton's bill is a step in the right direction.
Please advise me that you have added your name to the list of active co-sponsors of Delegate Norton's "Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act" in 1999. This bill can launch a peace dividend that will be emulated around the world.
Sincerely,

This is for the use of marijuana for medical purposes. We no longer have a war on drugs we have a war on Americans. Stop this insanity. Alchol that kills thousands each year is legal and even promoted. A natural growing herb that has never killed or ODed anyone in the history of medicine is.
Here is the complete bill:
