Oppose New Nuclear Weapons Today
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: Union Of Concerned Scientists
The Bush administration has asked for $8.5 million in the 2006 budget for research on a "Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator" (RNEP). This new nuclear weapon, also known as the nuclear "bunker buster," is being promoted as a useful tool in attacking deeply buried command centers or underground stores of chemical and biological weapons. But numerous scientific critiques, including one by the National Academy of Science, find that in many cases such a weapon would be ineffective. In addition, the nuclear blast and radioactive fall-out could kill millions of innocent people in surrounding areas. A single "bunker buster" would be nearly 100 times more powerful than the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.
In the coming weeks, the Senate will consider funding for this new nuclear weapon. Please tell your Senators to reject all funding for the dangerous nuclear "bunker buster."

You must be totally insane to even consider such a thing when most of the people of the world have already said " no more War " so what on God's green earth do you think you need these for...are you planning to take over the world one country at a time...like Iraq ??? Please put your ear to the ground and know that people don't want anything like this ever again...never again.

Howabout Nuclear disarmament worked for the russians and U.S. in the late 70 ,80's

Nuclear weapons destroy our earth
# 93:
# 92:
There is no need for that - leading countries have destroyed theirs already!!! Stop that now!
# 91:
George Bush we do not need your nuclear weapons armament.
# 90:
We dont need them,peace is a better option,and what happened to disarmament.
# 89:
Don't we have enough already?
# 88:
# 87:
one of the most dangerous Governments about using nuclear weapons have been UNINETSTATES OF AMERICA and it has to stop it immediately instead of making another lands to stop to use it in peaceful ways.

There are so many decent, life-affirming things you could do with this money and i appeal to you to consider them instead.

now is the time for disarmement!! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE AND REQUEST MORE WEAPONS OF SUCH DESTRUCTION. NO NO NO

This is an absurd request. We have more than enough nuclear weapons. This proposed $8.5 million should be put toward helping the American people. The poor, sick, hungry, disabled Americans who's lives are existing day to day with few to no luxeries and what most consider as neccessities they consider luxeries. Help our own. Americans first & foremost. Enough on totally unnecessary wasteful funding. Just how much does it take to destroy the entire world? There are more than enough desturctive weapons on hand now. WAKE UP!

NO MORE NUKES!!!

I think we have enough.

Is that gives you the right to bomb other countries and then ask for fund to make more destruction? Nuclear weapons are not necessary. Using Nuclear to generate power is useful, but no and never to nuclear weapons. Using nuclear weapons to bomb other countries is a coward act.

I would like to see America moving more and more towards disarmament, not developing and testing harmful nuclear weapons. Also, has anyone thought how hypocritical it is for America to ivade and start a preemptive war on the bases of Weapons of Mass Distruction, yet we are still developing and testing our own.

Don't we have ENOUGH weapons and such? I mean, it's bad enough we have people killing each other HERE! Why do we need to go blow up other coutries? We don't need to cause an end to the world. We haven't even caused an end to killing each other here! IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!! I mean, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!
