*Help End Wasteful Pentagon Spending to Fund Jobs &
Community Services*
Today and tomorrow the House of Representatives will decide to write a $600+ billion check to the Pentagon, while sequester cuts to community
programs go on every week in our communities. Seventy-five thousand public workers have been laid off so far this year alone.
While our communities lack money for vital services, should growing Pentagon waste really be our nation’s $600+ billion priority? The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (NDAA) is being voted on NOW. It will set policy and authorize funds for over $600 billion in Pentagon and war spending. The good news is, we still have time to act on Thursday and Friday this week - there are a number of sensible amendments on the table to reduce this unaffordable giveaway.
Call your Congressional Representatives with this toll free number: 877-429-0678
Ask that they support amendments that cut wasteful weapons systems so we can move that money to fund community programs. Ask for support for Amendment number 32 - Top line Cut submitted by Congressperson Nolan (MN) that would reduce funds authorized in the NDAA by $60 billion. This is a step in the right direction!
Let’s stop this swindle and invest in people - not Pentagon waste!
