I'm writing to express my concern about harmful provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act and the wasteful increases in Pentagon spending. I specifically ask that you oppose Section 1217 of the Senate bill, the expanded U.S.-Israel defense technology integration, or Section 219 of the House bill, the expanded U.S.-Israel defense technology integration. In addition we should vote AGAINST - funding to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, (and) - funding for the Golden Dome missile shield, (and) - funding for Trump’s new battleship program, (and) - an unnecessarily bloated $1.5 trillion dollar defense budget. Congress should pass a responsible budget that addresses real security needs, not impractical funding for Trump's vanity projects and measures to deepen our ties and debt to a foreign government's military. WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR when we cannot fully fund the social or health care programs to take care of the people who live in this country? Stop this madness.
