"It is People that are powerful beyond measure!"
Write to your Representatives and if they don't listen to you - Then RUN for Congress YOURSELF. Why Not? Who says you can't? Nobody can stop you and there's nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it! History is filled with people who brought an
entire nation to their knees - by themselves! They changed the direction of world
history single-handedly. You can change history too!

Lessons From The Past
HIROSHIMA
This is what Hiroshima looked like on August 6, 1945, hours after the first
historic atomic bomb ("Little Boy") was dropped. It took only 64 kilograms (141 pounds)
of Highly-Enriched Uranium and only 6/10th's of a microsecond to do this.

70,000 died from the immediate Blast, Fire Storm, and Radiation.
70,000 More Would Perish From Their Injuries.
A mere 0.6 grams of Uranium:
2 million, million, million, million Uranium Atoms
Converted to 12.5 kilotons
of Energy (E=mc2) - All in Less Than 6/10th's of a microsecond !
Putting This All Into Perspective:
The average human blink takes about 3-4/10 th's of a second. This fission reaction took 6/10th's of a microsecond. So All of this occurred in less that a blink of the eye, Literally! Add to that the fact that Today's Bombs are measured not in Kilotons but Megatons (Kilo=1,000 tons v. Mega=1,000,000 tons) or a thousand times stronger.
NAGASAKI
This is what Nagasaki looked like on August 9, 1945, after a
21 Kiloton Plutonium Bomb (Fat Man) - Roughly Twice that of Hiroshima!
Dropped the Morning of August 9, 1945. 70,00 Fatalities and Injuries.
The United States expected to
have another atomic bomb ready for
use on 19 August, with three
more in September
and a further three in October of 1945.

Now, imagine if you will, one of these in the hands of terrorists. Think about
that for a moment! The Epicenter not in the center of Hiroshima or Nagasaki
but instead - The Center of New York City, Chicago, L.A., or Cleveland!
Just stop and think about for a moment.

Nuclear Blasts Since 1945
Jeremiah Denton
He spent almost eight years as a prisoner of war (POW) in North Vietnam and later wrote a book "When Hell Was in Session", that also became a film about those experiences.Denton is best known from this period of his life, for the 1966 televised press conference in which he was forced to participate in as an American POW by his North Vietnamese captors. He used the opportunity to communicate successfully and to confirm for the first time to the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence and Americans that American POWs were being tortured in North Vietnam. He repeatedly blinked his eyes in Morse code during the interview, spelling out the word, "T-O-R-T-U-R-E".
He was also questioned about his support for the U.S.
war in Vietnam, to which he replied:
"I don't know what is happening, but whatever the position of my government is, I support it fully. Whatever the position of my government, I believe in it, yes sir. I am a member of that government, and it is my job to support it,
and I will as long as I live."
Denton died on March 28, 2014 at the age of 89!

Iranian Nuclear Aspirations
Iran's Nuclear program was launched in the
1950s with the help of the USA as part of the Atoms for Peace program. The participation of the United States and Western European overnments in Iran's nuclear program
continued until the 1979 Iranian Revolution
that toppled the Shah of Iran.
In November 2011, The international atomic energy commission [IAEA] Board of Governors rebuked Iran following the IAEA report detailing how Iran had undertaken research and experiments geared at developing
nuclear capability.
The Tsar Bomb was a three-stage Teller–Ulam design hydrogen bomb with a 50 MEGATON yield. Equivalent to 10 times the combined power of all the bombs dropped during WWII.
