Global Zero campaign - to reduce nuclear weapons ..
A world without nuclear weapons .... Let us work together ...
ge..
Hi,
I wanted to tell you about Global Zero, an international movement for the elimination of nuclear weapons.
This past April, Russia and the United States signed a historic agreement to reduce their strategic nuclear arsenals by a third each. This is the most significant arms control treaty in decades, and a crucial first step to global zero—the worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons. With the US and Russia leading the way, 2010 could mark the beginning of the end of nuclear weapons. But public support at this crucial moment is critical to build the foundation of a binding and verifiable global zero agreement. To join me and the hundreds of thousands of people in every country in the world who believe in zero, click below:

We must now choose between two very different futures. In one, nuclear weapons continue to spread, increasing the chances that a country or terrorists use them, with catastrophic consequences. In the other, all nuclear weapons are eliminated according to a comprehensive global agreement for phased and verified reductions.
Zero is not only desirable, it is also achievable -- with political will. With momentum already building in favor of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the balance.
When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many. Join us today by clicking below:

The vision of a world free of nuclear weapons can come to be, but we must get involved to make it happen. So please, sign and ask your friends to do so as well. Make your voice count.
Thanks

Common Wealth Games, a waste of resources !
From 600 crores initial budget for the games to a whopping 28,000 crores, that is how the bill for the Common wealth Games 2010 in Delhi has been blown out of proportion.. Who has eaten away all the money ? Who has encouraged the bills to be exaggerated ? Who has encouraged this corruption to flourish ?
If our politicains do not know how to enforce fiscal discipline and timely completion of projects without cost overruns, they should not indulge in such extravaganza at the poor man's expense..
The Commonwealth Games may bring some name and fame to the country but the poor man still still has to live in poverty and negligence .With the common man still being denied access to the the best sporting facilities , whom are we trying to showcase to the world ? That lone Bhindra or Rosakutty ??
Nepotism, favouritism and corruption are the hallmarks of this games ..Paid by all, for a few and by a few.. Sheer waste of resources by our incompetent politicians ....
If such poor accountability to the people of this country is going to be the practice, we should stop this nonsense.. I am with Mani Shanker Aiyer and am saddened by this waste and inefficient utilisation of resources..
