To fully effect peace, we need to create more peaceful relationships. Meanwhile, it is essential to remove the immediate threat of nuclear weaponry. I commit my voice to these efforts.

My name is Eric and I am 40 years old, I just finished talking to my wife who was in tears after hearing the words spoken by a woman who was the age of a kindergartener during WWII in Japan. She was a survivor of the atomic bombs. I was remembering 1976, when I was a young first grader going to school in Pacific Grove, CA. I remember seeing three young boys who looked very different than any of the other children. They were each survivors of the Vietnam War and had entire halves of their faces scarred by napalm and Agent Orange. I never spoke about them and heard other children talking. This still brings tears to my eyes and I am reminded that I gained the knowledge that war is very deeply wrong at a very young age and this helped to shape my character. Please President Obama, bring our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and help those nations rebuild economies based on peace and understanding. Would you sent Sasha or Malia to the front lines?

We do not own this world and we have no right to destroy it. All we have is the responsibility to protect it for our children and to cherish ourselves and the rights of humanity as a whole.

No one has the right to take anyone´s life in whatever the way. In this sense, nuclear wars, which take the lives of millions of people in a matter of seconds or leave them with deep wounds, should be unconditionally rejected. Because life is the most precious treasure each one of us have and because we have the right to live, our duty is to keep it sacred.

Peace must be a struggle of each individual at each moment.

The thought of nuclear weapons being used is so scary and unfathomable that anyone would even consider using them. I have heard from a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing who was a Japanese American and at the time only a child to witness the people and their skin meling off their bones while screaming through the streets not knowing what had just happened. How many have died from this? The effects are permanent and past through genetics. People today are still suffering from cancer caused by this bomb. Nuclear weapons should never even be considered and should be abolished forever.
