In action, President Obama has repeatedly made it clear, cutting military spending is NOT on the table, even though it is now over 50% of the US budget and is one of the 2 causes of our Financial Crises aka, Recession/Depression(depending on where your personal finances are at).

Democratic Leaders in Congress, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, grudgingly agreed to the deal, according to the /Post./ *Tell Obama, Reid, and Pelosi: hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.* <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2Bb5EusLQlffnuDK6RZf7b2mn1NRcW4fR>* * Obama should veto any budget that does not increase taxes on the wealthy. But missing from the entire budget discussion is the existence of absurdly bloated military spending. Military spending takes over half of discretionary spending and is protected by the silence of both parties and the media. Military spending hurts the economy, rather than boosting it. Military spending makes us less safe, destroys the environment, erodes civil liberties, concentrates presidential power, blocks progressive initiatives, and kills large numbers of people. _And polls show the majority of Americans want military spending cut._ *Tell Obama, Reid, and Pelosi to cut the military instead of human needs.* <http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Y3NPouPvI%2BUQUn62ObUTHWmn1NRcW4fR> Please forward this email widely to like-minded friends.
