When people in New Hampshire become aware of how the federal budget pie is sliced up, they want to reduce wasteful Pentagon spending on obsolete Cold War and nuclear weapons and invest significant funds into programs like education, health care, and energy independence.New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation Presidential Primary gives citizens who want to change budget priorities a unique opportunity to shape public opinion by influencing presidential candidates and the national news media.The Priorities campaign's Common Sense Budget Act of 2007, introduced in Congress in March, provides not only a vision of a sensible federal budget might look like, but a real piece of legislation to advocate for.
