Dear *******,

On January 31 we asked Voters for Peace to take action to prevent the appointment of William Lynn as Deputy Secretary of Defense. You responded by sending over 100,000 letters to the Senate Armed Services Committee and President Obama. Thanks to your help the nomination is jeopardy. Reuters reports:

Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, may hold up the nomination of William Lynn, a former Raytheon Co lobbyist, to become deputy secretary of defense, a spokeswoman for the senator said on Wednesday.

"He hasn't decided what his next action on Mr. Lynn might be," said spokeswoman Beth Levine, when asked about the possible use of Grassley's senatorial privilege to delay Senate consideration of the nomination indefinitely.
