Peace Action is thrilled to endorse Rep. Summer Lee in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional district.
"In recent years, Congress has authorized $41.6 million of 'defense' spending on Viagra, $2.3 million on Alaskan king crab, $32.6 billion for shipbuilding, $1.7 trillion on a program that 'lost' $85 million in spare parts they say apparently just vanished. That’s enough to repair crumbling roads and bridges, provide free school lunch for every child in America, combat homelessness, and completely eradicate student debt. The people I represent in Western PA are sick and tired of Congress nickel and diming the programs their lives depend on while we bankroll defense contractors and spend more on our Pentagon budget than the next 10 countries combined. The least we are owed is transparency and accountability for waste, fraud and abuse."
