Hi John, I'm Ben, the ice cream guy. But I'm not
here to talk about ice cream.
Actually, I wish I was talking about something as fun as ice
cream, but I'm here to talk about the insane military-industrial
complex that is fueling endless wars across the globe and
preventing us from addressing real challenges at home like
student debt, the climate crisis, and health care.
But the good news is that this email is about doing something
about it.
We need to build Our Revolution groups across the nation that
can help hold members of Congress accountable to us and not to
the military industrial complex that demands military budget
increases year after year with agreement from both Republicans
and most Democrats.

campus organizers, to staff this campaign and to build Our
Revolution!

Congress just approved a $738 billion military spending bill
that provides a $22 billion increase over last year, and brings
the total increases in the 3 Trump years to $130 billion.
Sadly, this year is the first budget passed by a House
Democratic majority, which dropped defunding of the Saudi-led
Yemen attacks and restored funding for a new round of nuclear
weapons after a conference committee with the Senate included all
of that and more.
Fortunately, our champion Ro Khanna and 40 other House Democrats
voted "No", providing us with a starting point for a national
campaign to stop these increases next year, as well as the
endless wars. Watch Ro Khanna on the House floor eloquently
present the case against adoption:

Our Revolution and our allies will launch a major campaign in
2020 to demand an end to endless wars, the new round of nuclear
weapons, funding the war against Yemen, and more. I look forward
to joining that campaign and hope that you will join me and your
local group as we organize next year.
It's great that Bernie Sanders will vote no in the Senate, and
when he is president he will lead the efforts to reverse endless
wars and endless military spending increases. But we need to
build a majority in the Congress that will demand new priorities
like a Green New Deal, Medicare For All and free public college.
One of the ways we can pay for that is less wasteful military
spending.
