Don't applaud war

President Obama makes his first State of the Union address on Wednesday, and he's going to call for us to cap spending on everything EXCEPT the military.

Getting a grip on the deficit is fine. But spending on war and weapons is the FIRST place we should look to save money, not the LAST.

Obama's priorities are backwards. But Congress gets the final vote on how to spend tax dollars. And their reaction to the State of the Union -- whether they clap or shout 'you lie!' -- is an important first barometer of opinion.

Now you can do something  about it: Use this page to tell Congress not to clap when Obama proposes spending $100 billion on the war in Afghanistan while freezing spending on everything else.
