It's 2:30 a.m. – do you know where $2 billion is?

Dear Aaron,

Stop these wasteful warplanes!

They've never flown in combat, can't fight the Taliban, and the Secretary of Defense doesn't want them - but you're about to be charged $2 billion for these planes.
Call congress now and tell them to stop building planes we don't need, and the Pentagon doesn't want!


Unless we stop it, Congress could vote as soon as TOMORROW to spend more than $2 billion of your money on a fighter jet that even the Pentagon doesn't want. President Obama called for an end to 'weapons as usual' contracting at the Pentagon - including ending production of the F-22 fighter jet. But in a 2:30 a.m. vote, the weapons contractors were able to get enough Republican and Blue-Dog Democrat votes to slip it back in.1

Congressman Barney Frank is leading the fight for Obama's Pentagon budget, but the showdown is now and he doesn't have the votes yet. Call your member of Congress right now and tell him or her to cut these wasteful warplanes.


My response to the morons at TrueMajority.org:

Uhh...hello?! A whopping two people at the Pentagon, both Obama appointees, don't like the F-22 program. All the rest of them strongly favor a new fighter program to replace the aging F-16.

That aside, why are you so worried about this tiny $2 billion when you could be worrying about the $1 billion being wasted on Cash for Clunkers, the $1-3 trillion being wasted on bailouts, and the hundreds of billions being wasted on all of Obama's other worthless programs?

Oh, wait, I know why. It's because Obama=God and you can't question His divine thinking.

Sorry, didn't mean to blaspheme.
