==========================================================

The Bay Area’s Livermore Lab is one of the three national laboratories
that serve as the brain of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex, which today
is modernizing and developing nuclear weapons to support U.S. wars of
empire.

August 6 and 9, 2005 mark the 60th anniversaries of the atomic bombings
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States. Join with thousands of
people at four central US nuclear weapons sites to call for an end to
the development and production of nuclear warheads.

In the Bay Area, the Livermore Lab continues to contaminate the water,
air and soil. Over 1 million curies of airborne radiation have leaked
from the site. That is roughly equal to the amount of radiation
deposited in the bombing of Hiroshima. The Dept. of Energy declared the
fifty-mile radius surrounding the facility as the affected population.
This includes over 7 million people from San Francisco, to Stockton, to
San Jose. The storage and use of nuclear materials at Livermore Lab
continues to increase despite safety and security issues. The limit for
plutonium at Livermore Lab has just been doubled to 3,080 pounds --
enough for 300 nuclear bombs! Plutonium was recently found on site to be
absurdly stored in paint cans and food cans.

In Iraq, they never found nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction,
yet the daily reality of death and destruction continues, sparked by the
Bush administration's invasion and fueled by the ongoing U.S. military
occupation. A majority of people in this nation now oppose the war, but
the White House and most members of Congress are resisting the only
solution to the crisis: bring the troops home immediately. We will send
our message loud and clear to decision-makers and the public at large:
End the war in Iraq, End the threat of nuclear annihilation!

We found the missing weapons of mass destruction. On August 6, we will
take our voices to the active nuclear weapons sites across the country.
We demand an end to US nuclear weapons development, production and
testing. We demand an end to wars of empire and an end to nuclear
excuses for war.

NO NUKES! NO WARS!
