Say NO to "Bunker Buster" Nuclear Weapons

“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace” Isaiah 52: 7 *


Dear FaithfulAmerican:


IMAGINE - the Horror of Hiroshima - 70 Times Over!

That is what ONE so-called “Bunker Buster” bomb would unleash. You will want to know that the Senate is about to vote on a bill that would fund the creation of this horrendous nuclear weapon.

Calling this level of weaponry a “Bunker Buster” is like calling the bomb used on Hiroshima “a few fireworks.” Let’s name it what it is: An aggressive and treacherous nuclear weapons program. Is this the contribution the United States of America wishes to make to humanity?

Please take a moment and write to your Senator opposing ANY measure to steer our nation down this dangerous path. We have made it easy for you to take action:

Write to your Senator to urge opposition to ANY spending on nuclear weapons, especially the “Bunker Buster.”

(Link: http://ga3.org/campaign/nobunkerbusters)

We also ask that you take a moment and let your friends and colleagues know about this bill using our tell-a-friend feature.

Your voice DOES MATTER! Last year, the Administration requested $27.6 billion in order to develop a new generation of nuclear weapons. FaithfulAmericans all over the nation spoke out against funding the weapons, and Congress listened. The entire request was denied, and not a penny went toward new nuclear weapons. Let’s keep our voices strong in Washington.

Blessings to you,

Vince Isner and
Your FaithfulAmerica.org Team

Please pass this info on.
Thanks!

1. thanks I signed

I find is a bit disheartening when actions seem to just sit here, but discussions get tons of hits. Hopefully it is because everyone or most have already taken the action.

2. Thank you for caring enough to take action!

It is indeed disheartening to see this sitting here for 4 days, w/yours as the sole reply.

5. its already happening.

its already happening.

What do you think the deepest oil well (Chevron) drilled in the Gulf of
Mexico (28,000 + feet)(10 kilometers) and an earthquake have in common?
Chevron Jack #2 Oil Well. Surprisingly, Chevron announced (big
announcement not quiet) info on the well on September 8, 2006 like it
was big news even though the well was completed in 2004.

September 10, 2006 - Gulf of Mexico earthquake. Can you say "bunker
busting nuke test". I have not been able to gather specific info and/or
exact location of Jack #2 oil well, but it is very close to the
epicenter of quake. The USGS puts epicenter at 270 miles southwest of
Apalachicola, FL, which is also about 270 miles southeast of Louisiana.
Articles I have read indicate Jack #2 oil well from 175 miles to 275
miles somewhere south of Louisiana. This is way out there in 7,000 feet
of water.

Estimates of costs based on economic articles I have read would put oil
at $20,000 to $30,000 per barrel and indicate an increase of American
reserves by 50 percent.?????!!! It is not financially responsible, unless...
Crazy claims like "dredging sea floor for manganese nodules". Glomar
Explorer all over again.

Maybe they are using nuke to frac the formation for better recoveries?

Follow the money
