$1.5 Trillion for a Swamp?
Hi Friends,
Of the trillions of reasons to compel Congress to block Trump's military spending monstrosity, here are three:
As a report this week showed, even a Democratic Congresswoman who has criticized wars and military spending can put a great deal of effort into grabbing military contracts for those who pay their bribes — aka "campaign contributions."1
Trump's proposal to move mountains of money into the military will leave only tiny crumbs for everything else.2
A European country leading the way in slashing other spending to meet Trump's demands for military spending has seen, in the past two years, soaring unemployment, hunger, and homelessness.3
Tell your representative and senators to reject the military budget!

This legislation must be rejected in its entirety.
It would give Trump's War Department an unprecedented $1.5 trillion.
The total amount spent on the military and war already includes another $0.7 trillion to $1.3 trillion, as documented in a recent report by the Project on Government Oversight.4
This is enough money to transform all of our lives, if put to better use than blowing things up.

In addition to emailing Congress at the link above, you can phone your representative's and senators' offices at this number (all you have to know is your address and what you want your members of Congress to do):
