I am curious why 750,00 people would rally against nuclear weapons? Were there counter-demonstrations of people rallying in favor of them?

[crazycanuck]

I believe the rally for them occured at the Republican convention two years prior.

[aloneuntilldeat]

Are you suggesting that republicans were opposed to nuclear weapons?

[crazycanuck]

No, rather I was suggesting that the rally in favor of nuclear weapons was held at the Republican convention.
