Who We Are

Caucus4Priorities is a non-profit 501(c)4 organization dedicated to educating the public about the inequities of our current federal budget. We aim to redirect 15% of the Pentagon’s discretionary budget away from obsolete Cold War weapons towards education, healthcare, job training, alternative energy development, world hunger, deficit reduction. This 15% cut, or $60 billion dollars, on obsolete weapons systems and the further proliferation of nuclear weapons does not include the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and in no way impacts homeland security or our defense. We have the money; let’s spend it on sensible priorities!

By eliminating wasteful expenditures, America could make investments that build strong communities for a better future.

Caucus for Priorities is a grassroots project of Priorities Action Fund, working in Iowa to encourage Iowans to sign a pledge that they will attend their caucus and caucus for a candidate who supports the Corporation's budget reprioritization goal.

Our Strategy

Iowans: By signing a pledge card or signing up online, you promise to attend your local caucus and support a candidate who has endorsed the idea of providing more money for education, health care, renewable energy research, and other social needs by cutting Pentagon waste.  According to the political experts, if about 8,000 Iowans take the pledge, the Presidential candidates will be forced to take this issue seriously.

The Caucus for Priorities Campaign has already passed our goal of 8,000 pledgers and we're on our way to 10,000.

The media (Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina) and the cadidates are taking note and many of the candidates are coming on board. This campaign is working. Become a part of it by taking the pledge or by helping us question the candidates or just help out where ever you can. To see where the candidates stand on National Budget Priorities, click here.

The Caucus for Priorities Campaign will be endorsing a candidate for President on November 9th, 2007.
