The Defense Appropriations bill, HR.5293, is on the floor of the Congress right now. 75 amendments will receive votes, starting and maybe finishing today. Here are four top amendments to focus on. Please call your member of Congress and ask them to vote YES on these four amendments.
Calls are preferable to emails due to the short time before the vote. Call the Congressional switchboard: 877-429-0678 (they may say something other than Congressional switchboard, but this is the correct number). Ask to be connected to your member of Congress. You can discuss all 4 amendments with 1 call.
