Received this e-mail today from the Council for a Livable World:
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing last week makes it clear: no one wants President Trump — or any president — to have unchecked authority to launch nuclear weapons. But we need Members of Congress who will take action beyond a hearing.
We need to continue electing to Congress champions of progressive national security policy who will act to keep our country – and the world – safe. That’s why we enthusiastically endorsed Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Representative Jacky Rosen (D-NV) in their 2018 Senate bids. Will you help them win re-election?
Senator Baldwin is running in one of the most competitive races in the country. Wisconsin’s electoral votes went to President Trump last year, and hawks would love nothing more than to keep up that momentum and unseat Baldwin.
Representative Rosen is running against Senator Dean Heller, the only incumbent Republican running in a state President Trump lost. There is a real chance for victory, and for us to unseat hawks like Heller to change the Senate makeup.
Will you help Senator Baldwin and Representative Rosen win their Senate bids? Both candidates support the Iran nuclear deal and are firm on the need for diplomacy in North Korea. We need their voices in the Senate to bring reason to national security debates.
Imagine what could happen if progressives retake the Senate in 2018. We can make it clear to President Trump and the American people that his dangerous national security rhetoric will not stand. And we can build strong momentum going into 2020.
Thank you for keeping our world livable.
Sincerely,
John Tierney
