An Atlanta woman is making a cross-country road trip in the name of national security, and Craig is her most recent stop.

Bobbie Wrenn Banks, a 20-year member of Women's Action for New Directions (WAND), is making her way through America handing out the DVD, "Last Best Chance," a dramatic documentary detailing past, present and future global risks associated with nuclear weapons.

"Its really quite entertaining," Banks said, "but chilling because of the dangers we face."

The film features NBC's "Law and Order" star Fred Dalton Thompson and an epilogue moderated by "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw. It is produced under the Nuclear Threat Initiative.

Banks is on a 16-state trip that she always has wanted to make for personal reasons. Taking her college daughter back to school in Iowa this fall was her motivation. Her efforts are focused on small towns such as Craig.

"Big cities have resources," she said. "Small towns don't always get that kind of exposure."

While visiting towns such as Craig, Banks is meeting with mayors, business owners and anyone else who has an interest in the disarmament of nuclear weapons worldwide.

"Whoever seems willing to learn then engage with elected officials, whoever seems open to that sort of thing, I leave them with a DVD," she said.

"What I'm doing is completely a grassroots effort. I don't even have a business card. I leave my name on a sticky note."

That works well for some of the people she meets with, but others are a bit skeptical.

"Some people won't talk to me. Some people think I'm a nut," she said. "It's OK. I think I'm planting seeds. It's the Johnny Appleseed concept."

What she's aiming for is a push for higher-level action. If enough American people make this a priority, so will the government, she said.

"You reach a tipping point, and enough people want to see this a front-burner issue, and something happens," she said. "What we need is a senior-level official, and the first thing he or she asks themselves in the morning is, 'What can I do today to get us closer to safety in relation to nuclear terrorism?'"

She's hoping by distributing "Last Best Chance" to small communities, she can reach that goal.

"It's understanding the issue, then reaching elected officials," Banks said. "We can work together and create a safer world."
