Hi Friends,

There is stiff competition, but this might just be the worst idea to have emerged from the Trump White House thus far.

While waging war against Iran on the pretense of Iran possessing or pursuing nuclear weapons (by building on the nuclear energy program given to Iran by the U.S. government 60 years ago), Trump is trying to give a nuclear energy program to Saudi Arabia!

Tell Congress to block this nuclear proliferation right now!

Here's the email we've drafted for you to send:

This was something that Trump tried to do, without Congress, during his first term. In July 2019, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform issued a report titled "Corporate and Foreign Interests Behind White House Push to Transfer U.S. Nuclear Technology to Saudi Arabia," which noted that, under Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act, approval of Congress is required to transfer nuclear technology to a foreign country. It is still required.

Nuclear energy technology moves a government closer to nuclear weapons technology. Various nations have acquired the former for just this reason, and oil-rich Saudi Arabia would likely be doing the same.

Mohammed bin Salman has pledged to acquire a nuclear weapon if Iran ever builds one, and the current war may have made that more likely. Sending nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia is playing with fire.

Please tell me that you will block this move. Please speak out publicly.

Send this email -- and add your comments to it -- today.

In addition to emailing Congress at the link above, you can phone your representative's and senators' offices at this number (all you have to know is your address and what you want your Congress members to do):

(202) 224-3121

This work is only possible with your financial support. Please chip in $12 now.

Thanks for all you do!

In Solidarity,
