Public pressure has convinced the House Majority leadership to allow a vote on two amendments to the big annual defense spending bill.
- One amendment by Representative Justin Amash would cut funding for NSA’s surveillance of the American public (Amendment #101)
- The other amendment by Representative Thomas Massie would cut foreign aid to Egypt (Amendment #105)
DC Downsizers, like you, have sent messages to Congress for both of these goals.
The vote is TODAY, so please take immediate action to push these amendments to victory. We’re told that victory is a definite possibility in both cases. But not guaranteed, which is why we urge you to…
Please send your instructions to Congress using our Cut Spending campaign.
