What costs $1.5 TRILLION, doesn't work, and comes out of your paycheck?

If you guessed the F-35, you're right.

The F-35 is the most expensive weapon ever built. But according to a damning new article in Vanity Fair Magazine: It can't fly at night, can't fly in bad weather, and definitely cannot fight.¹

Just check out what the Peabody and Emmy Award winning reporter Adam Ciralsky has to say:

Help us spread the word about this article - and the F-35 boondoggle - by sharing this with your social networks.

Mainstream media coverage of contractor abuse like the F-35 is rare. But it can be absolutely essential in our campaign to end these wasteful programs for good. When we were fighting to shut down the F-22 (another useless warplane that didn't work) a major news story about how the plane didn't work on CBS nightly news helped convinced President Obama to veto any spending bill that wasted more money on that needless warplane -- despite the lobbying of big weapons contractors.

Now its the F-35's turn, and this news story is already making big waves. None other than Sen. John McCain (who's usually only too happy to back bloated Pentagon spending) called out the F-35 program as "worse than a disgrace" and "still one of the great, national scandals that we have ever had, as far as the expenditure of taxpayers' dollars are concerned."²But not a lot of people read Vanity Fair every month for news about national security or the federal budget. So if we want to make sure Washington hears from people that the F-35 is as big a waste like this article shows that it is, we need to spread the word. Just click here to share the news on Facebook, Twitter or email.

Sincerely,

The Tea Baggers are slashing SNAP, leaving Americans hungry, slashing Head Start that has a proven track record of improving educational performance, fighting to deny Americans Health Care, where is the outcry over this disgrace?
