Calls and Letters Needed: House debates Pentagon’s massive, over-inflated budget

 Action

Peace Action’s Paul Kawika Martin reports that we could see votes in the House and the Senate this week or next on the Pentagon’s massive, over-inflated budget.

There are a number of amendments introduced that could have a real positive impact, from blocking a potential war with Iran to cutting wasteful and dangerous spending on nuclear weapons.

If you haven’t called your representative and senators yet, please do so today!

  1. Call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121
  2. Ask for your representative or senators, and when connected say:
  3. My name is ____ and I am a constituent living at (your address). I’m calling to urge Representative/Senator ____ to support amendments that would reduce wasteful Pentagon spending, end our nation’s endless wars, and stop the Trump administration from starting an unconstitutional war with Iran. I look forward to hearing why the representative/senator does or does not support these steps I feel are important.
