Friends,
Living in San Diego and representing the 51st Congressional District, I’m honored to represent the amazing service members and their families who make up our strong and vibrant military community. So many of my colleagues think about the military in terms of defense contracts, budgets, and countering threats around the world (which are important), but I get the special privilege of calling service members and their families my constituents.
So, it’s striking that when I am taking calls from our military families, they’re not upset about drag performances or what books their kids are taught in schools, as much as my Republican colleagues’ would like to say. They’re calling me because they can’t make ends meet.
Military families can’t afford necessities like safe housing, child care, and putting food on the table. We’re failing to adequately support our service members and their families and it’s downright shameful.
We need to invest in meeting the basic needs of our military service members and ensuring an improved quality of life. If you agree, please join me by adding your name to this petition demanding action right now. [[link removed]]
To put this issue in perspective, imagine for a moment what you can do with an eye-popping, $886 billion budget at your disposal?
This is the budget that our military has been operating with - one that hasn’t addressed basic needs. The stats are dire:
*
More
than
4,000
military
children
are
waiting
for
child
care
spots
at
San
Diego’s
military
child
development
centers.
*
*
The
San
Diego
Food
Bank
feeds
about
45,000
food-insecure
service
members,
veterans,
and
their
families
every
month.
*
*
The
wait
time
for
military
housing
units
can
be
up
to
24
months,
and
often
these
units
pose
health
and
safety
hazards
for
families.
The fact is that a majority of the proposed budget will fund hardware and antiquated weapon systems, all while military families struggle to make ends meet and live with dignity.
It’s time we address these issues and focus on investing in our military families. Can you help me out by signing this petition? [[link removed]]
Thanks so much.
