James,
Donald Trump just doubled down on plans to divert $45 million in taxpayer dollars toward tanks rolling down streets to celebrate himself – boasting that his massive birthday tank parade will eclipse the Olympics and World Cup.
This isn't patriotism – it's a dangerous combination of ego and wasteful military spectacle at taxpayers' expense. But as Trump dreams of a parade the world didn't ask for, the fact is CONGRESS still controls the purse strings.
That's why Our Revolution is launching a MASSIVE call on Congress to reject Trump's vanity project immediately. Can you join thousands of Americans telling Congress we won't waste millions on Trump's spectacle parade?
At a time when our country faces critical challenges – a widening wealth gap, decaying infrastructure, student debt crisis and the looming threat of climate disaster – the LAST thing we need is tens of millions of taxpayer dollars wasted to feed Trump's inflated ego.
As he pushes a budget to slash health care for millions, Trump is fixated on rolling out tanks and missiles down Pennsylvania Avenue to boast about U.S. firepower.
If we allow this kind of wasteful spectacle once, what's to stop Trump or the next billionaire politician from commandeering taxpayer money for self-glorification? We need to set a clear precedent: No vanity parades funded on our dime. Period.
Congress is forced to listen when thousands of constituents speak out forcefully and together. So let's be loud and clear: we refuse to approve Trump's birthday extravaganza. Then, our Citizen Action Team will deliver our voices at our MASSIVE “No Kings Day” resistance June 14 to show that America is a democracy, not an authoritarian regime fueled by ego.
ADD YOUR NAME NOW and tell Congress to say "NO" to Trump's wasteful ego-driven parade.
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
