Trump and Bolton are shredding arms control. Tell Congress: Don’t let them bring back banned nukes!

[Win Without War]

Ron — Donald Trump just announced he intends to back out of the 30-year-old nuclear treaty that banned a new kind of dangerous nuclear bomb and ended the Cold War. [1]

This is terrifying. Trump is already building new nukes he thinks are “usable.” And there is already nothing stopping Trump from launching a nuclear bomb.

Now, Trump and his war cabinet are trampling the few nuclear safeguards we have and increasing the likelihood of a horrifying nuclear war.

But we have one massive piece of leverage. Trump can’t get the money to build his terribly dangerous new nukes without a thumbs-up from Congress.

So it’s up to us to make sure that when Trump comes asking for money from Congress to restart a Cold War-style arms race, your members of Congress don’t even consider saying yes. That means we’ve got to get loud — NOW.

The treaty Trump is scrapping was signed by Ronald Reagan. That’s right — the new nukes Trump is after were too dangerous for Reagan.

We simply cannot let a thin-skinned, short-tempered president who makes Twitter threats of nuclear annihilation actually get his hands on these horrible new nukes.

There’s no two ways around it: Ditching this treaty makes a nuclear war way more likely.

And the only way to change that is by drawing a hard line against giving Trump the incredibly dangerous new nuclear weapons he is after. That’s where we come in.

Tell Congress: Do not fund Trump’s new nukes.<https://act.winwithoutwar.org/act/tell-congress-dont-give-trump-new-nukes?source=em20181022&t=3&akid=2821%2E37829%2EbwguvH>

Thank you for working for peace,

Erica, Cassandra, Stephen, and the Win Without War team
