John Barrow picks big gov’t spending over Fort Gordon
Good Afternoon,
Today, John Barrow voted against a measure to stop devastating budget cuts that would affect our military and military personnel like those at Fort Gordon. Barrow voted to allow these military cuts that, as Defense Secretary Panetta said, would be “devastating” and “terribly weaken” our national security in order to keep big-government spending programs like ObamaCare.
Thirty one military service and veterans organizations urged Congress this week to save America’s Armed Forces from the “catastrophic impact that sequestration would have on the defense budget and future national security” – yet Barrow ignored their voices.
As you cover Barrow’s decision to vote against efforts to replace dangerous and arbitrary defense cuts with common-sense spending reforms, consider the following quote:
NRCC Comment: “Today John Barrow chose big-government spending programs like ObamaCare over Fort Gordon military families and veterans. Our military is facing devastating cuts that could be stopped and replaced with common-sense reforms but John Barrow wouldn’t look past partisan politics to protect our troops.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
