Coalition Thank You Letter to Senators Voting in Favor of McCain-Levin Amendment
Dear Senator,
The undersigned groups would like to thank you for voting to support the best interest of the troops and taxpayers by supporting the Levin-McCain amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2010. As Defense Secretary Robert Gates has pointed out, the F-22 provides an important niche capability for the Air Force, but it is not in the best interest of our national security to continue to procure additional F-22s at the expense of other, more pressing priorities. We appreciate that given the current economic climate that it was a difficult vote, but thank you for taking into consideration the long term security needs of citizens. Your support is essential to instilling accountability into the defense procurement process. This landmark vote marks the end of business as usual, and the beginning of real reform in Washington.
