John,

Last night, I was the sole dissenting vote in the House Armed Services Committee on the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). My reasoning is simple: It doesn’t address the waste and fraud in the Pentagon budget and price gouging by defense contractors.

At $886 billion [[link removed]] , the proposed defense budget represents more than a 3 percent increase over last year’s total.

Meanwhile, we are cutting relief for the poor, for students with loans, and for the working class. Republicans slashed these programs in the debt ceiling deal, saying we couldn’t afford it.

We have a responsibility to use Americans’ tax dollars wisely. This defense budget fails to fulfill that promise.

Will you stand with me in rejecting this wasteful defense spending increase? [[link removed]]

The Beltway is not with me, but many Americans —particularly the young—want us to improve their lives. To truly invest in our future, we must prioritize: providing affordable healthcare, relieving student debt, creating good-paying jobs, and tackling the ever-growing climate crisis.

Sign if you agree: Bloated defense spending is not the answer. We must put our tax dollars to help working Americans at home. [[link removed]]

Onward,
Ro
