Dear Friend:

I write to you for help at the suggestion of a friend.

Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into
the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery
of fire. This basic power of the universe cannot be fitted into the
outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms. For there is no secret and
there is no defense; there is no possibility of control except through
the aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples of the world.

We scientists recognize our inescapable responsibility to carry to our
fellow citizens an understanding of the simple facts of atomic energy
and its implications for society. In this lies our only security and our
only hope -- we believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and
not death.

We need $1,000,000 for this great educational task. Sustained by faith
in man's ability to control his destiny through the exercise of reason,
we have pledged all our strength and our knowledge to this work. I do
not hesitate to call upon you to help.

        Faithfully yours,

        [A. Einstein]


add another million and will take care of those Monster Asteriods for
you...

Germ Warfare...add another million.
