"Hold the LYNE" on the New "Low-Yield" Trident Nuclear Warhead
Campaign created by Leonard Eiger

Petition Text

We urge you to cosponsor the Hold the LYNE Act which will prevent further research, development, production and deployment of the new, “low-yield” nuclear warhead, designated as the W76-2, for the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile.

This new warhead, which has been rushed into production, is dangerous, unjustified, and redundant, and will only increase the risk of either accidental or intentional nuclear war.

CURRENT ACTION ALERT

STOP THE “LOW-YIELD” TRIDENT WARHEAD!

The W76-2 nuclear warhead is a new “low-yield” warhead called for by the Trump administration’s 2018 Nuclear Posture Review. It will be mounted on the Trident II D5 ballistic missile, which is deployed on OHIO Class “Trident” ballistic missile submarines. Trident’s only mission is strategic nuclear deterrence; the W76-2 turns this stated mission on its head. Legislation has been intoduced to stop production of the W76-2.

If you are ready to take action, please scroll down to “TAKE ACTION NOW!” for how to call your members of Congress to urge them to cosponsor this important legislation. Otherwise, keep reading to learn more.

Sample Script to your Representative:

I urge Representative __________ to cosponsor H.R. 1086, the Hold the LYNE Act, introduced by Representative Ted Lieu, which will prevent further research and development, and production and deployment of the new, “low-yield” nuclear warhead, designated as the W76-2, for the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile. Trident’s sole, stated mission is strategic nuclear deterrence. This new warhead turns that mission upside down, mixing a tactical nuclear weapon with strategic nuclear weapons. As former Secretary of Defense James Mattis said, “I don’t think there’s any such thing as a tactical nuclear weapon. Any nuclear weapon used at any time is a strategic game changer.” The W76-2 is dangerous, unjustified, and redundant. Again, I urge Representative __________ to cosponsor this important legislation.

Sample Script to your Senators:

I urge Senator __________ to cosponsor S. 401, the Hold the LYNE Act, introduced by Senator Ed Markey, which will prevent further research and development, and production and deployment of the new, “low-yield” nuclear warhead, designated as the W76-2, for the Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile. Trident’s sole, stated mission is strategic nuclear deterrence. This new warhead turns that mission upside down, mixing a tactical nuclear weapon with strategic nuclear weapons. As former Secretary of Defense James Mattis said, “I don’t think there’s any such thing as a tactical nuclear weapon. Any nuclear weapon used at any time is a strategic game changer.” The W76-2 is dangerous, unjustified, and redundant. Again, I urge Senator_________ to cosponsor this important legislation.
