For decades, it's been a Holy Grail of progressive activists in the United States: cut the bloated Pentagon budget and use the money for human needs instead.


But on Thursday of next week -- rescheduled from this Friday due to the tragedy in Boston -- the Holy Grail will be within reach. All we have to do to cut the bloated Pentagon budget and use the money for human needs instead is kill the "chained CPI" -- the president's proposal to cut Social Security and veterans' benefits by lowering the cost-of-living adjustment.

[So far, there are 24 events, of which at least eight are explicitly "cut the bloated Pentagon budget instead" events:  Erie, PA; Madison, WI; Columbus, OH; Champaign, IL; Chicago, IL; New Haven, CT; Newburgh, NY; Arleta, CA. The Madison event is tomorrow as originally scheduled.]
