RRW: Peace Action has signed onto a letter opposing Reliable Replacement Warhead funding that was delivered to Sen. Dorgan, Rep. Visclosky, and Rep. Hobsons' offices today. The letter was also sent by email to Democratic members of the House and Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittees.
