Dear
President
Obama’s Budget for FY2015 calls for a tsunami of spending on new nuclear
weapons programs.
The
Congressional Budget Office has projected that these new programs would increase
nuclear weapons spending to $355 billion over 10 years. The budget would build
new nuclear missiles, bombers, and submarines, and “life extension” for current
nuclear weapons. These weapons should be abolished, not modernized!
Shouldn’t
we invest the money in people instead? Let’s improve public education from
preschool to college!
Public
housing in Massachusetts has a $1 billion backlog of needed repairs.
Let’s
build a green economy and save the environment.
Tell
our President and Members of Congress: Please cut funds for nuclear weapons . Senator
Warren and members of Congress should co-sponsor Senate bill S.2070 filed by
Senator Markey and House bill HR.4107, which call for significant reductions in
nuclear weapons spending!
