Pull the Pork and More
from the Pentagon Budget!
The Jobs Not Wars Campaign is calling for a change in our nation’s
priorities. We can only meet the needs of the American people and our
communities
by cutting the bloated out-of-control Pentagon budget and by making the
super-rich and giant corporations pay their fair share.
We will strengthen our security more by investing in jobs and caring for
people than by lining the pockets of weapons makers, their executives and
lobbyists.
Does the budget exist to serve the people or the profit interests of the
arms industry?
The time to act is now !
Call your representative and senators
Wednesday, February 27th !
The Congressional switchboard number is:(202) 224-3121
A toll-free line is: (866) 338-1015
Unless Congress and the President reach an agreement, on March 1st
across-the-board mandatory cuts will take place that will devastate social
programs on which so many of the unemployed, poor, elderly, children and
disabled
depend.
There’s an alternative. It’s called _The Balancing Act – H.R. 505_
(http://salsa.democracy
inaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=zdKN+Lv4c79Nxot6Vki2VkO8vFbib64/) –
introduced by the Congressional Progressive Caucus. It avoids
cuts to essential social programs, calls on the most privileged to pay their
share and reduces Pentagon spending to fund job creation and rebuild the
economy.
• Tell your representative and senators that you want them to support The
Balancing Act (HR 505) andoppose both sequestration and austerity measures.
• Tell them to stand with the majority who support substantial cuts to
the Pentagon budget to fund job creation, secure social safety net programs,
rebuild public infrastructure, protect the environment, and make the
super-rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
