No $$ for new weapons of mass destruction

New Letter! Tell your members of Congress to tell Bush: No means NO on New Nukes!

In the House, we recently won victories over the White House. Two sub-committees have deleted funding for Bush's new nukes. However, we must keep up the pressure to make sure that the money for Bush new nukes is not reinstated.

Bush and his minions are still trying force his plans for new nukes on Congress, our country and the world by sneaking it back in during the congressional funding process.

While at home Bush has been seeking new nukes, he has, simultaneously, been trotting around the world preaching nuclear abstinence. Though the US corporate media seems to take no notice, this kind of hypocrisy does not go unnoticed to the rest of the world.

The end result of this “do as I say, not as I do” weapons of mass destruction policy will be the failure of the efforts to contain nuclear weapons proliferation.

Help Congress help the President by telling him, "No means NO."

The NEW easy-to-use letter to Congress guide will help you craft a letter--No means no.

Subject:

The Administration's pursuit of new nuclear weapons undermines our international non-proliferation efforts and weakens America's credibility. Two years ago President Bush said, “that the spread of nuclear weapons was "the pre-eminent threat to international security." I could not agree more. We should be getting rid of the nuclear weapons we have not making plans to build new, more usable ones. I urge you to continue to work on behalf of a more secure America by voting against dangerous and wasteful programs such as RNEP. Respected nuclear experts at the Union of Concerned Scientists, Lisbeth Gronlund and David Wright have said that due to the associated proliferation costs, “the security costs of developing such weapons outweigh any conceivable security benefits." Please write to let me know that you will oppose funding for all new nuclear weapons programs.
