Company Overview:
Council for a Livable World was founded in 1962 by eminent nuclear physicist Leo Szilard and other scientists who worked in the pioneer days of atomic weapons.
Mission:
To rid the world of nuclear weapons, to advocate for sensible national security policies, and to help elect members of Congress whose ideals reflect our mission.

Right now, we are also lobbying on behalf of all Americans who would like to end the war in Iraq safely AND responsibly, and promoting rigorous diplomacy over talk of war with Iran.

Help us spread the word and make our world more livable by inviting your friends to our page!

Patrick Murphy for Congress 2008
Rep. Patrick Murphy is running for re-election in Pennsylvania’s 8th congressional district. Rep. Murphy is the only Iraq veteran serving in Congress and has been an outstanding leader in ending the war in Iraq. Republicans are eager to silence this effective voice for peace, and the close vote on 2006 makes them think they can win in 2008. Find out more at www.livableworld.org.
The Drums of War
Throughout the year, the Bush administration has been building the case for war on Iran—Bush even warned of WWIII if Iran builds a nuclear weapon. Cheney warned of “serious consequences.” Fast forward to December 2007, it’s confirmed that Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program in 2003. Moreover, Bush knew that the program “may be suspended” before he made his famous WWIII comment. So why did he still beat the drums of war? Stay Informed: www.livableworld.org
