CAGW Strikes Blow against Defense Boondoggle

CAGW | January 10, 2010 

CAGW launched a nationwide multimedia ad campaign last summer to alert taxpayers to $7.2 billion in wasteful spending on an alternate engine for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).  In addition, CAGW’s Policy Experts released an Issue Brief exposing the alternate engine as an unnecessary, special-interest project that members of Congress have kept alive with earmarks, despite the objections of both Presidents Bush and Obama and the Pentagon.  CAGW’s educational efforts, combined with a CCAGW grassroots campaign, prompted more than 20,000 Americans to express opposition to the alternate engine.  While the House has continued to fund the project, the Senate declined to authorize or appropriate any funding for the engine in fiscal year 2010.  Read more about CAGW’s campaign to eliminate the JSF alternate engine.
