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.
