Subject: Nuclear "Bunker Buster" Has Been Busted! - FCNL

Your lobbying played a key role in persuading Congress this week to
agree to eliminate all funding for the nuclear "bunker buster,'
effectively rejecting for the second year in a row the president's
request to develop a new generation of nuclear weapons.

The thousands lobby visits, letters, emails, faxes, and phone calls
that you helped organized helped persuade members of Congress to
eliminate this dangerous nuclear bomb that could have killed over one
million people. FCNL learned last evening that Congress has agreed to
eliminate funding for the nuclear "bunker buster" in the
energy and water appropriations bill conference committee.

Defeating the bunker buster two years in a row shows how little support
new nuclear weapons have in Congress. Please email your members of
Congress at http://capwiz.com/fconl/utr/1/HJDUFDSUXB/HSZXFDTABR/ or
call them at one of their offices to thank them for not funding the
bunker buster.

nuclear weapons issues, please see:
