ACTION ALERT
Critical Vote on Unnecessary & Dangerous New Nuclear Weapons

Dear Nicolas J S,

Tomorrow, the US House of Representatives is likely to vote on an amendment to cut funding for proposed new nuclear weapons.

In today's world, nuclear weapons are a security liability, not an asset. This nuclear-armed cruise missile known as the Long-Range Standoff (LRSO) weapon is unnecessary and will cost tens of billions of dollars. The amendment, which will be voted on in the House, is a key first step in the fight against this weapon and against a dangerous new global nuclear arms race.

Write today and urge your representative to vote for the amendment that will cut funding for this dangerous and unnecessary new weapon from the defense spending bill.

The amendment would cut $75.8 million from the weapon program and move the savings to deficit reduction. It would effectively delay the cruise missile by one year and allow more time for the next administration and Congress to decide whether or not to pursue it—and time for UCS, our supporters, and our allies to more fully oppose this dangerous weapons program.

Can we count on you to help stop the LRSO before the program gets off the ground? Write your representative today!


Sincerely,
