Yesterday afternoon, phones in Congress were buzzing as concerned citizens all over the country called their Representatives to urge them to vote against an amendment that would have restored funding to the Reliable Replacement Warhead program--a dangerous program designed to create new nuclear warheads.
When the final roll call came through, it turned out that the amendment was defeated 145-271. 44 Republicans voted against the bill, and only 1 Democrat voted for it. If you're curious about how your Representive voted, PLEASE CLICK HERE.
Phone calls from concerned citizens played an enormous role in turning the tide on this amendment. All the coalition partners of Faithful Security: National Religious Partnership on the Nuclear Weapons Danger thank all callers for acting so quickly!
