UPDATE  ON CONGRESSIONAL PROPOSALS TO MOVE SOME OF OUR HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS IN MILITARY TAXES and California Peace Budget support for them.
The California Peace Budget Resolution is a version of Representative  Barbara Lee’s H Res 1003  regarding wasteful Pentagon spending, supporting  50% cut to the bloated defense budget, and redirecting the funds to essential needs and services.    Senator Bernie Sanders in the Senate called for an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to cut 10% in annual Pentagon spending and reinvest it in education, health care and poverty reduction. https://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-cut-the-pentagon-by-10-to-hire-more-teachers-build-more-homes-and-create-  Summaries of both proposals are below.
  Lee’s  and Sanders’  proposals need support.  Even if not adopted this time around, we need to keep the attention on using some of our  hundreds of billions of military taxes for community investment and welfare, not warfare.    The California Resolution is directed to the California Governor and Legislators.  It  asks them to  pressure Congress to redirect some of the hundreds of billions of our military taxes for constructive programs like those addressed by Lee and Sanders.  It is an updated version of Local Peace Budget Resolution which was adopted by the Conference of Mayors of large cities in 2017.  
 David Swanson of World Beyond War is gathering names of organizations and individuals that sign on to the California Peace Budget Resolution.   If the California Governor and Legislature supports it, they could lend weight to Lee’s, Sanders’,  or similar moves to redirect our military taxes to human and environmental needs.
