Keep Obama's Military Budgets Clean!

The Issue


The full Pentagon budget hasn't even been drafted yet. But some members of Congress are already trying to slip billions of dollars of pork-barrel weapons projects - including C-17 transport planes the air force doesn't want - into the supplemental budget request for Iraq and Afghanistan.

We need Congress to keep this supplemental vote clear of pork-barrel spending if we're going to change America's priorities for good. Tell Congress to pass the President's Supplemental, and hold the pork.

Mary AcostaPetition StarterI voted as a Democrate but I would love to see a third party come to fruition. After 5 years of working for the schools, lay offs have left me unemployed. Who got the bail out? Not the working families of America. So, now maybe people will get out and take a look at the status quo and what it has done to the poor. Also, there must be health care for all and justice for all. <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/11/dont_punish_the_poor_economist_jeffrey" rel="nofollow">http://www.democracynow.org/2011/4/11/dont_punish_the_poor_economist_jeffrey</a>
