End U.S. Military Aid to Egypt Now
Not satisfied with destroying Egyptian democracy, Egypt's military rulers are now engaged in a campaign of mass murder of civilian protesters.
The U.S. government sends the Egyptian military $1.3 billion every year. Since the "enemy" our money is being used against appears to be the Egyptian people, it is time for our government to end its complicity and to cut off military aid entirely.

Why is this important?
The Egyptian military perpetrated a coup against a democratically elected government. Whether you support Islamists or not, they won a free election and are entitled to govern. The military regime has now embarked on a campaign of mass murder--with the help of the $1.3 billion a year in US military aid. Time for this to stop!
