Rare moment of opportunity to cut nukes!

October 6, 2011

Right now the Super Committee in Congress is developing plans to cut at least $1.5 trillion in federal spending over the next 10 years.  What they decide to cut will speak to our priorities as a country. Many of the measures under consideration will have significant negative impacts on our communities. Some possible cuts, however, represent changes that are in our national interest.

Here is one of them. Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) is circulating a “Dear Colleague Letter” to other Representatives asking Congress to make $200 billion in cuts to the nuclear weapons budget over 10 years. These cuts would achieve much-needed reductions in our current bloated nuclear arsenal. By taking this action, our nation would also send a positive message to the international community and thus advance future disarmament agreements.

Please take a moment to contact your Representative now, asking them to sign on to Rep. Markey's letter.

A phone call from a constituent is powerful when your elected officials are struggling to find out what their voters care about amid drastic spending cuts. Take a few minutes, make the call to your Representative, and join Morgan Pinnell (pictured above) along with thousands of others who will be doing the same thing today and tomorrow.
