Now is an ideal time to contact your senators about the need to cut the military budget. By going to http://capwiz.com/fconl/issues/alert/?alertid=53945576 you can use the letter writing service of Friends Committee on National Legislation to quickly compose and send a letter advocating for the cuts recommended by the Sustainable Defense Task Force (click here) which I've been calling for in this blog for over a year now.
Below is the basic text of the standard FCNL letter, but you also have the opportunity to provide your own text:
As Congress looks for ways to reduce the federal budget deficit, please support cutting Pentagon spending by $1 trillion over the next ten years, as was recommended by the Sustainable Defense Task Force. Please speak with your colleagues on the congressional "supercommittee" and urge them to recommend this cut in their proposal.
Pentagon spending has nearly doubled in the last ten years. While our states and cities are cutting back services, our country is continuing to pour money into war and military strategies that are not making us safer.
Please let me know if you will support cutting the Pentagon budget by $1 trillion over ten years in any legislation to address the budget deficit.
Please take immediate advantage of this opportunity.
