Here’s my message after the State of the Union (tried to send it via whitehouse.gov, but they give me a 404 error):
I cannot take anyone seriously when they discuss controlling the budget crisis and will not address Defense spending. I’m glad to hear mention of your support for proposed cuts in Defense. But, they are too small. Defense has DOUBLED since pre-9/11 times. Two wars. How can one try to balance the budget on the back of other domestic spending and let Defense be unrestrained.
This is the most important issue facing America. Choices made here are determining what America will be like in the future. We OUTSPEND the rest of the world on the military. This is not who we should be.
You have an opportunity to accept the Republican challenge and balance the budget by ending wars and wasteful military-industrial corporate welfare.
