THIS MONTH’S LETTER: SAY NO TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
In late December 2007, Congress approved and sent to the President an omnibus funding bill that eliminates funding for the development of the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW), the administration's proposed new nuclear weapon. The cancellation of the RRW, which would have been the first new nuclear weapon in two decades, is an important victory for proponents of nuclear nonproliferation. WE HAVE TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON AND BUILD UPON THIS VICTORY. WRITE to the President, your Representative, and Senators Schumer and Clinton, telling them that you want them to work for nuclear disarmament and against any new nuclear weapons. [From FCNL]
Your Representative: Senators Schumer and Clinton
