Obey Security Votes #4

Just a reminder for those new to this series, Dave Obey called President Bush the greatest security threat to our country. Obey Out's response is, Dave Obey has no leg to stand on when making that claim. Here is the next in our series of votes Obey took that tried to weaken our national security:

On May 21, 1997, Dave Obey voted for an amendment by Rep. Kennedy (MA) that would have cut $20 billion from our national defense spending (Roll Call Vote 146).

That's right, not only did Dave Obey want to reduce the amount of money available to recruit and pay our troops, he would have also cut funds for training, ammunition and technology.
