Please work to remove harmful provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act and drastically curb the wasteful increases in Pentagon spending. Specifically, at the very least, please oppose expanded U.S.-Israel defense technology integration, funding for boondoggle initiatives like the "Golden Dome" missile shield, a new battleship program, and renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War. We should reduce military spending significantly, not aim for anything near the bloated $1.5 trillion dollar proposed defense budget. Congress should pass a responsible budget that addresses real security needs and frees up money to pay down the debt and support the needy at home and around the world.
