AVN has critizized the American government for spending $700 billion on what they call "a nuclear weapons system designed for [[Cold War]] threats." Emphasizing the lack of a direct threat from [[Russia]] and the potentially wasted funds from the nuclear arms program, they have called on the government to either cut "[[pork barrel]] nuclear projects" or re-direct funds from some weapons, such as ballistic nuclear submarines, in order to support American troops with more effective technology.
 
In 2010, AVN worked diligently to support the [[New START]] treaty, a bilateral treaty which reduced the number of strategic nuclear missile launchers in the United States and Russia by half. AVN's "Daisy Ad" <ref>{{cite web |title=Daisy Ad|last=Youtube|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as1cTOx8Hrk|accessdate=23 January 2014}}</ref> highlights the risk of nuclear weapons. It was quite successful and accumulated tens of thousands of views on youtubeYouTube and garnered press coverage in [[NPR]], [[POLITICO]], [[Huffington Post]], and the [[The New York Times]].
