*Iowans For Sensible Priorities is a 501(c)3 organization in Iowa dedicated
to educating the public about the inequities of our current federal budget.
We aim to redirect 15% of the Pentagon's discretionary budget towards
education, healthcare, job training, and starting to repay the national
debt. This 15% cut, or $60 billion dollars, on obsolete weapons systems and
the further proliferation of nuclear weapons in no way impacts homeland
security or our defense. We have the money; let's spend it on sensible
priorities!*
