Do You Care About Cutting the US Military Budget?

Then here is whom to vote for on November 4!

What is it?

  • The size of the U.S. military budget has been growing every year for decades. Even President Obama's "cuts" only reduced the amount of growth. The Congress is similarly reluctant to vote against military spending; hence this is the most lopsided list (towards "Con") in our survey. Recent legislation includes:

  • Opponents of defense cuts attempt to keep the U.S. in its role as the world's leading arms exporter: the Resolution Against Arms Trade Treaty would block a United Nations treaty which would reduce U.S. arms sales abroad.

  • Meanwhile, supporters of defense cuts cannot even get a vote on de-funding the Afghanistan war, even though its termination has been promised for several years now, with the latest promise to withdraw down to "only" 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan as of 2015.

How does it get passed?

It takes 218 Congresspersons to pass defense cuts bills in the House of Representatives. It takes 50 Senators in the Senate.

What's happened so far?

  • Supporters of defense cuts failed in the Senate to set defense contract services to "sufficient size" to meet strategic needs, but even that meager cut was rejected, receiving only 41 votes. Supporters of defense cuts need another 9 Senate votes on that bill to win.

  • Supporters of defense cuts failed in the House to cut funding for the U.S. military in Iraq, even though U.S. forces are out of Iraq and most people now agree that entering Iraq was a mistake. This modest bill was rejected with only 182 votes. Supporters of defense cuts need another 24 House votes on that bill to win.

    What will the candidates running in my area on November 4 do?

    You'll see below the names of everyone running, for whom we can predict their vote on this issue. They are organized alphabetically by State in one of the two lists below!

    The PRO list are those running in 2014 who have supported defense cuts.

    The CON listlist are those running in 2014 who have opposed defense cuts.

    Get your friends and family and friends on Facebook and Twitter and elsewhere to help elect 218 and 50 and defense cuts will pass!

      How to interpret this page

    • The list above includes candidates for Senate and House seats in 2014.
    • All of the above ratings are based on multiple sources of information.
    • The sources of information include legislative votes; bill sponsorships; group ratings; campaign websites; campaign debates; and biographical books.
    • Each information source is rated as supporting the topic, or opposing the topic.
    • The number of opposing sources is subtracted from the number of supporting sources; if the net sum is positive, the candidate counts as "Pro"; if negative, the candidate counts as "Con."
    • Click on the candidate's name to see the list of information sources, and whether we rate is as supporting or opposing.
    • Click on the date of each information source to see a full excerpt and context.

      Key for Pro votes:
    • An aboslute YES vote: 5 or more net supporting information sources, indicating consistent and long-standing support
    • A solid YES vote: 3 or 4 net supporting information sources, indicating substantive support
    • A likely YES vote: 1 or 2 net supporting information sources, indicating some support but not enough for certitude.
    • If a candidate has a net zero supporting information sources (or no information sources), that candidate is not listed above at all.

      Key for Con votes:
    • An absolute NO vote: 5 or more net opposinginformation sources, indicating consistent and long-standing opposition
    • A solid NO vote: 3 or 4 net opposing information sources, indicating substantive opposition
    • A likely NO vote: 1 or 2 net opposing information sources, indicating some opposition but not enough for certitude.


    • The above list is not fully inclusive; many House challengers are not included, but all House incumbents are eligibla.
    • All major-party Senate candidates (and incumbents) are eligible; and most Senate challengers are, too.
    • Some of the candidates listed above lost in the primary, but are still listed.
