I read this commentary in The Nation and wrote a letter to Congressman Al Green.

Reductions in the Pentagon budget are long overdue. The Soviet Union closed its doors on December 26, 1991 but you would not know it by looking at the US military budget which is equal to the next 10 countries in line. Reduce 750 military overseas military bases to 100. Decommission 4,500 nuclear weapons and keep 1,000 for deterrence and wandering asteroids. President Biden can give these orders without requesting Congressional approval. Please ask him to take action.

Refer to this recent commentary from The Nation.

I will call your Houston office on Wednesday to follow up.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
