Dear Friend,

We're thrilled to announce that in the final economic stimulus bill that was just
released by a Congressional committee, funding for the nuclear weapons
infrastructure was removed!

We asked you to write your representatives and thousands of you did, flooding
congressional offices with requests to cut this money. We did our part too, by
sending letters and pressuring Congress to cut these funds.

Thank you to all those of you who took quick, decisive action to help prevent $1
billion in funding for the National Nuclear Security Administration! This victory
would not have been possible without your activism. Many Senators and
Representatives did not even know this funding existed before you alerted them to
it. Today gives us just one example of the power of our collective voices to achieve
steps toward a world free of nuclear weapons. We look forward to working with you on
this issue throughout 2009.

Sincerely,

John Isaacs and Guy Stevens

1. The height of stupidity

The next time you hear about a plane carrying a load of armed nuclear weapons cross the country by accident you think about the cut in funding for keeping track of these things.
