SIGN ON: Pass the People Over Pentagon Act

Reducing the Pentagon budget by $100 billion would still leave plenty to keep America safe at a level well above our country’s post-World War II average. [Democracy for America Advocacy Fund](#) [SIGN ON: Pass the People Over Pentagon Act]( --------------------------------------------------------------- {NAME}, The US military budget is currently $858 billion, more than China, Russia, and the next seven countries combined! Yet, we are told there isn’t money for healthcare, ending childhood poverty, or protecting the planet. The Pentagon has such a staggering amount of money available that it has led to wasteful military spending. In addition, the Pentagon has never passed an audit and has not been held accountable for waste, fraud, and abuse. Every year Congress and the President add more money to the Pentagon budget for outdated ships, malfunctioning planes, dangerous nuclear weapons, and giveaways to corrupt defense contractors at the expense of communities across the country. Reducing the Pentagon budget by $100 billion would still leave plenty to keep America safe at a level well above our country’s post-World War II average. [Tell Congress that we need to prioritize the well-being of Americans. Sign and send your direct message demanding the passage of the People Over Pentagon Act now!]( This legislation would free up more funds to feed the hungry, care for the sick, protect our planet, fund education, and cut childhood poverty. It would also be another critical step forward in the fight to stop endless war. Thank you for contacting Congress today. - Amanda Amanda Ford, Director Democracy for America Advocacy Fund [Power This Campaign]( Democracy for America Advocacy Fund is a 501c4 organization.
