U.S : The PENTAGON is requesting $750 BILLION during a pandemic !

 

 

 

Dear friend, yes families are still struggling as a result of the pandemic. Yes, despite that fact, the Pentagon is still seeking $750 billion in additional funding. Please add your name to Demand Progress' petition: Tell Congress to reject their proposed budget and cut Pentagon funding!     ADD YOUR NAME               Dear friend,          This is outrageous : during a pandemic, the Pentagon’s proposed budget for next year is $750 billion.    The Pentagon plans to spend more money on nuclear weapons but actually slash funding for programs that prevent, detect, and respond to global disease outbreaks — even though the global pandemic is still going strong.    Congress has the final say on military spending, and right now, they need to hear directly from you.    Sign Demand Progress' petition: Tell Congress to cut Pentagon funding!           ADD YOUR NAME           Right when he left office, Trump pumped the gas on military funding. He tried to write a blank check to build more nuclear bombs and submarines while egging on more military conflicts abroad. This new Pentagon budget is a Trump dream come true.    Not only will this new budget continue some of Trump’s reckless nuclear weapon spending, but it will also cut funding to a program designed to find new outbreaks of global diseases early and respond quickly.    We’re still in a global pandemic, so taxpayers should be funding programs to actually keep us safe, rather than building more world-ending bombs.    The Pentagon doesn’t want us to stop their latest attempt to hog the federal budget. That’s why you need to speak up to your members of Congress.        Sign the petition: Tell Congress to cut Pentagon funding!           ADD YOUR NAME           Keep fighting,            Demand Progress.                                                      Demand Progress. Does not equal endorsement.
