Dear Arnold,

There's a movement afoot.  Can you give fifteen minutes to help advance it?

Our November Priorities Campaign is dedicated to getting Congressional co-sponsors for an important bipartisan bill that improves nuclear security and bolsters humanitarian work--the Global Security Priorities Resolution (H. Res. 278).

Howard Hubbard, the Catholic Bishop of Albany and a national leader for justice and peace, has written a moving letter to each Representative urging them to co-sponsor the bill.

In his letter, Bishop Hubbard quoted Archbishop Edwin O'Brien of Baltimore, former Archbishop of the Military Services, who said in 2009:

"Abolishing nuclear weapons is not a narrowly partisan or nationalistic issue; it is an issue of fundamental moral values that should unite people across national and ideological boundaries." 

We couldn't have said it better.  Let's make sure that our legislators pay attention.

Click here to send an email to your Representative flagging Bishop Hubbard's letter and inviting them--a second time, if necessary--to cosponsor the Global Security Priorities Resolution.  

Yours,

Tyler

More Details:

The Global Security Priorities Resolution (H.Res. 278) is a bipartisan bill that calls for reducing US and Russian nuclear arsenals to 1500 warheads per side--with the resulting savings split between efforts to combat nuclear terrorism and programs that encourage global child survival. 

To succeed, the Global Security Priorities Resolution needs 25 Members of Congress to sign-on as co-sponsors. Last week each Member got a letter from the main sponsors, Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Dan Lungren (R-CA), asking that they join them. But so far, only 14 out of 435 have signed on! It's clear that we - the voters - are the only ones who can make sure that this gets the attention it deserves.

We've developed a plan for November that has just one action step per week. Do you care enough to give an hour in November - just 15 minutes a week for four weeks?  If so, you can help make something happen that will have a global impact.  Take the first step by rounding up your friends and sending an email to your Representative.

For sneak peek at what lies in store for next week, check out the November Priorities page to see how to get started, or watch the campaign video on YouTube.
