> Dear Friend,
>
> The world community has spoken with one voice, and once again
> the Bush-Cheney Administration has yet to hear the call.
>
> Recent negotiations among 111 countries have produced a treaty
> to rid the world of indiscriminate "cluster" munitions --
> dangerous weapons which pose an unacceptable threat to civilians
> in warzones. The agreement requires all signatory nations to
> halt production of these devastating weapons, and destroy their
> stockpiles within eight years.
>
> Unfortunately, the Bush-Cheney Administration refused to
> participate in these negotiations.
>
> That's why I just forwarded an e-mail to my Senators, urging
> them to stand with Senator Patrick Leahy and call on President
> Bush to sign the cluster munitions treaty.
>
> Please join Senator Leahy and me by sending a message to your
> Senators as well!
