Call them up and use this sample script when speaking to them:
“Hi, my name is ______ ______ and I’m a student/young American calling to urge Representative ______ to sign on to Rep. Ed Markey’s letter to the super-committee calling on them to recommend cutting spending on nuclear weapons, and not on the services Americans need the most, like Medicare.
Nuclear weapons were designed to address a threat that ended with the Cold War. These weapons have no place in maintaining our national security, and yet we’re expected to spend over $700 billion over the next ten years on them. Imagine what we could do with just a fraction of this money elsewhere! As a student/young American concerned about my future, I urge the Representative to sign on to this letter before the end of today.
Thank you very much for your time!”
–
Cut spending on nuclear weapons, not on services needed by hard-working Americans.!
If we must cut spending, we must insure that it does not destroy jobs and worsen the economy.
Cutting back on useless nuclear weapons is the least harmful thing that we can do.
Please support a reduction in funds for weapons.
Thank you.
