"Cut wasteful spending on Pentagon programs which don't contribute to our security"

Let Your Reps Know...Send an Email Here...

With all the challenges our nation is facing, we can no longer afford to ignore the billions of dollars wasted on Pentagon programs which don't work. We can't afford pork-barrel weapons projects which only exist to pay off defense industry lobbyists. Our country has real work to do with that money. Please help create a federal budget which follows President Obama's call to cut programs that don't work -- starting with waste in the Pentagon.
