Success! US Cancels Nuclear Missile Test on International Day of Peace

I’m writing with great news! Over 7,000 NAPF Action Alert Network members wrote to President Obama in response to our alert about the planned US Minuteman III nuclear-capable missile test on the International Day of Peace. On Friday, the Air Force Global Strike Command announced that the test has been postponed. The International Day of Peace will now be a more peaceful day.
Although the government is unlikely to ever admit it, I see this as evidence that your messages do make a difference. This is a small victory, but with your continued support there will be bigger victories to follow.
