April 21-27, 2013
The money that the United States government is currently spending on new technology should be spent on helping the poor. The United States spends more money on the development of new technology than any other country in the world. In 2012 the United States government spent $125 billion on the development of new technology. The United States government is giving billions of dollars, our tax money, to universities and corporations for the development of new technology. Tell Congress to decrease funding for new technology and increase funding for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, health care, disability benefits, retirement programs, unemployment benefits, welfare, aid to the poor, food stamps, food pantries, charities, homeless shelters and affordable housing. Call, email, contact your senators and representatives in Congress between April 21-27. Organize or attend a protest, march or rally against new technology between April 21-27. Don't buy anything from companies that sell new technology like Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Best Buy, Walmart and Target between April 21-27.
