Cut Social Security & Veterans' Benefits? Cut the Pentagon Instead!
President Obama has endorsed cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits by using the "chained CPI" to lower the cost-of-living adjustment. The Congressional Budget Office says cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits in this way would save the government $163 billion over ten years. But there are much better ways for the government to save $163 billion. Email President Obama and Congress >Here Comes AIPAC, Lobbying for War
AIPAC activists will be swarming the Hill this week. Don't let their voices be the only ones your reps hear. Tweet
Overcoming months of smears, hysterical rhetoric, and procedural obstruction, Chuck Hagel was confirmed to be our next Secretary of Defense. In the process, we showed that in Congress we could beat the Likud Lobby that drove the opposition to Hagel's nomination. This faction in Washington says that "unless you adopt an unwavering pro-Likud approach to Israel that you're anti-Israel," as Barack Obama characterized their claims in 2008.
Now the Likud Lobby is pressing Congress to endorse an Israeli military attack on Iran.
If we could beat the Likud Lobby on Hagel, we can beat them on this.
Urge your representatives in Washington to oppose AIPAC's "backdoor to war" bill and to take steps towards peace with Iran and Palestine, using the form below.
