Green Party leaders in Washington DC to call for spending cuts
Join Green Party leaders at the Capitol in DC on Tuesday December 10 - International Human Rights Day. Greens are calling for major cuts (25 to 50%) in runaway military spending in order to meet dire needs at home - in human services, jobs, and the environment.

The Green Shadow Cabinett news conference was at 10 AM. Peace, anti-poverty, environmental,and community activists were at the press conference, highlighting critical community needs that should be funded instead of dangerous and wasteful military spending.

We must stop the massive military spending that Congress is planning. Bring it folded in a pocket or back pack. Larger signs are not allowed inside the Capitol complex.

After the news conference the groups delivered copies of a sign-on letter and petitions to members of the Congressional budget committee, particularly chairpersons Sen. Murray and Rep. Ryan. More than 120 organizations have signed the letter and more than 6,500 people have signed the petition. Please share the petition with colleagues and friends so we can reach more signer.

Media reports indicate that the budget committee is nearing a two year deal to be voted on Dec. 13. The deal would boost military spending by reducing the cuts under sequestration by half. Meanwhile the deep cuts in SNAP will not only continue but will be become larger.

Please urge your members to contact Sen. Murray and other key congressional members to tell them to cut the Pentagon so we can feed the people.

Groups initiating the campaign include the Backbone Campaign; Coalition Against Nukes; Code Pink; Fellowship of Reconciliation, Freepress.org; Hunger Action Network of NYS; Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space; Green Shadow Cabinet; Hip Hop Congress; Liberty Tree Foundation for the Democratic Revolution; No FEAR Coalition; Organic Consumers Association; Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign; PopularResistance.org; Roots Action; and US Labor Against War.
