Freeze Pentagon spending

Hey - In the midst of a struggle to provide health care for millions of Americans and create more jobs, President Obama has just announced that he will freeze non-security domestic spending at $447 billion per year. That's for everything except Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs. Guess what won't be frozen? The $708 billion we will spend on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and many obsolete Cold War weapons systems.

What would you rather see America investing in? Please ask President Obama to put cutting wasteful military spending at the top of his agenda.

Please add your voice to this effort here http://capwiz.com/peaceactionwest/utr/2/?a=14591761&i=100205191&c=&u=www.capwiz.com%2Fpeaceactionwest%2Fissues%2Falert%2F%3Falertid%3D14591761%26type%3DPR
