Speak out on tax priorities -- for human needs
April 6, 2011
As we approach Tax Day, many of us are
thinking about how our tax dollars are being spent. I look at the debate
in Washington, DC, and am left wondering how our schools, hospitals, and
emergency responders are not spared deep cuts while our ever-expanding military
is left untouched. It's time for action!
At PSR, we know that we can’t solve
the pressing human and environmental needs facing us, nor can we address the
budget deficit, if we continue to ignore the billions spent on the military.
Let’s
raise our voices together and demand meaningful reductions
in military spending. I do not resent paying taxes. What I resent is the
feeling that my taxes are not paying for my priorities.
Join me and
thousands of other people from across the country in submitting a letter to
your local papers asking for deep reductions in our military-industrial complex.
Take action now – our Letter to the Editor module makes it quick and easy for
you to take this valuable step.
Our effort within the US is a key part of a fast growing international
movement sponsoring events on April 12. For more information, please
visit demilitarize.org.
In the US, the National Priorities Project is a well-respected source
for information on budget issues.
