Stop Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex

 

Dear stan, I wanted to make sure you saw this email and important action I sent last week. Can you take 1 minute to sign on to our petition to 27 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who take campaign contributions from weapons manufacturers and help us get to over 5,000 signatures? — Carley Tell 27 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to stop taking campaign contributions from weapons companies!   SIGN ON NOW Dear stan, If elected representatives want to be known as “progressive” then Defunding the Pentagon should not be controversial. Which is why we need members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to put their money where their mouth is and refuse to be bought off by weapons companies.   Tell 27 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to take Defunding the Pentagon seriously and STOP taking campaign contributions from weapons companies!  Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus are supposed to be “fighting to rein in bloated Pentagon spending”. Then why, according to a study by the Security Policy Reform Institute, did 27 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus take thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from weapons companies and consistently vote to increase the Pentagon budget during the Trump administration? That’s a serious conflict of interest! Weapons companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin rely heavily on defense spending that is approved by Congress for their enormous profits.  Sign on to tell 27 members of the Progressive Caucus to take this conflict of interest seriously and end campaign contributions from weapons manufacturers! We’re gearing up to make 2021 the year that Defunding the Pentagon becomes a reality by making sure members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus refuse to be bought off by weapons companies. We’re also ringing in the new year with a global day of action to say NO to the War on Yemen on January 25. Join an action in your local city on January 25 here. It’s a new year and it’s more important than ever to Defund the Pentagon.  Contact 27 members of the Progressive Caucus now and demand they stop taking campaign contributions from weapons companies and join us in action on January 25 to say NO to the war on Yemen. Towards peace, Carley, Cody, Nancy, and the entire CODEPINK team  P.S.- On February 2nd, join CODEPINK for a webinar: Understanding the True Cost of Nuclear Weapons. RSVP here!
