The $3.8 trillion budget that President Obama announced yesterday gives us a second chance to win the change in priorities we’ve sought for years.

Last year, TrueMajority members proved that sensible budgets CAN be achieved when we won a huge fight to end wasteful Pentagon projects like the F-22 fighter jet.

That victory saved billions of dollars that can now be used to build schools and restart the economy. This year we have a chance to save $2.5 billion MORE by ending the C-17, another plane we don’t need. (PDF, p. 12)

Tell Congress to stop building C-17s and other Pentagon toys we don’t need.

Sign now, and we’ll deliver your signature right away so your legislators read it while they’re considering the new budget. And we’ll start meeting with key members of Congress next week to make sure the message is understood.

This spring, we’ll roll out fun new gadgets that make the budget and Pentagon spending simple to understand, and we’ll ask for your help showing them off to thousands of new neighbors and friends this year on tax day. We’re going to need the extra help because the weapons builders and conservatives in Congress are already digging in for a fight.

Last year’s victory on the F-22 shows what’s possible. And we’ve already got key allies like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi examining ways to control military spending. So help us kick this campaign off right. Sign our petition, and then tell a few friends about the budget on Facebook or Twitter. Together we’ll shift the budget and a build a better country.
