Dozens Rally Outside White House Against Nuclear Weapons Upgrade 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Dozens of people have rallied outside the White House to oppose
President Obama's plans to upgrade the nation's nuclear weaponry. Obama
has called for a nuke-free world, but has reportedly put the United
States on pace to spend as much as $1 trillion over the next three
decades to rebuild its nuclear arsenal and facilities. On Sunday,
activists held up a full-size inflatable missile while calling for the
verified elimination of all nuclear stockpiles by the year 2030.
