What do the Dalai Lama and nuclear weapons have in common?

If that seems like an odd question – it should!  The Dalai Lama, in accepting the Distinguished Peace Leader award from the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation in 1991, spoke on the dangers of nuclear weapons and prospects for a world free of nuclear weapons leading to peace.  As an advocate for non-violence and peaceful resolutions to conflict, the Dalai Lama stands for everything that nuclear weapons do not; the Dalai Lama stands for compassion, dialogue and peace. 

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation endeavors to make the world safer and we need your help to achieve this goal of a nuclear weapons-free world!  We see the upcoming election as key in making the world safer for generations to come.  The next President of the United States has the capability to abolish nuclear weapons altogether.  We are sending an Appeal to the Next President of the United States, and we are trying to gather a million signatures before it is sent to him on January 22, 2009. 

So do your part to make the world safer and sign the Appeal today!
