We are delivering the petition to President Obama this week. Help us reach 100,000 signatures and keep Trump's finger off the nuclear button. John Cassidy, who has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1995, is also a contributor to The New York Review of Books and a financial commentator for the BBC. He wrote this piece in The New Yorker mentioning the petition you signed, asking President Barack Obama to de-alert US nuclear missiles, an act which would not reduce our security, but rather increase it. "Ploughshares Fund, a venerable arms-control organization, has circulated a petition urging Obama to take US nuclear missiles off high alert before he leaves office. 'It’s too late to stop Donald Trump from becoming president,' Joe Cirincione, president of Ploughshares Fund, wrote recently. 'But it is not too late to stop him from impulsively blowing up the planet.'" Share the petition; help us reach 100k signatures to deliver to President Barack Obama this week! We aim to have these delivered to him personally. http://bit.ly/endhairtrigger
