-----Original Message----- From: Debbie Van Dyke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 8:27 AM To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; Subject: Nuclear Weapons Vote Support the Kennedy-Feinstein amendment to cut funds for new nuclear weapons:   A very important vote on nuclear weapons is coming up early next week. Senator Jeffords will vote for Kennedy-Feinstein according to his staff member Laurie Schultz Heim. Senator Leahy�s staff member in charge of Defense, Daniel Ginsberg, was out of the office.   This is a very important vote, please make the contact. At the bottom of this email is the contact information for all Vermont�s congressional delegation and for the president.   Please let friends in key states know about this vote and urge them to contact their senators.   *****   Early next week the Senate will vote on an amendment to cut funds for new nuclear weapons from the military ("defense") authorization bill.  This vote is likely to be very close.   We need your help to persuade senators to vote against funding these new nuclear weapon systems.  Please call, fax, or email your senators.  Urge them to support the Kennedy-Feinstein amendment to cut funds for new nuclear weapons from the defense authorization bill (S. 2400).  Tell them that these weapons will not make the U.S. more secure.  In fact, they will make the world more dangerous.   The most important senators are: Bill Nelson (Fla.) Evan Bayh (Ind.) Susan Collins (Maine) Olympia Snowe (Maine) Ben Nelson (Neb.) Gordon Smith (Ore.) Arlen Specter (Pa.)   Contacting your senators is easy.  You can call them in Washington, DC through the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.  You can also fax or email them from FCNL's web site.  Start with the sample letter posted in our Legislative Action Center, personalize the language, then send your message directly from our site.  To view the sample letter, go to <http://capwiz.com/fconl/issues/alert/?alertid=5902431> then enter your zip code and click "Go" in the "Take Action Now" box.   Please forward this Legislative Action Message to as many of your friends as possible, especially if you are in a key state.  Every phone call, fax, and email is important!   Thanks you for your help,   David Culp, Legislative Representative Friends Committee on National Legislation (Quakers) 245 Second Street, N.E.
