Fort Benning and the Army both need to expand due to the Worldwide threats to the US, not to be cut.. It is nonsense what the incompetent Administration is doing to destroy the military-and our country

I am signing this petition in hopes that others, whom like myself, are in favor of our military staying right where they are!
Here in the Chattahoochee Valley area.
I understand budget cuts here or there, but not our military.
Fort Benning and our soldiers make up the majority of revenue throughout Columbus, Phenix City, Fort Mitchell, Seale, Auburn, and so on!
Fort Benning and its soldiers not only keep us safe and revenue healthy; but think about it without Benning and all of its hundreds....thousands of soldiers, there is no Columbus, Phenix City, etc.
Without Benning all of the above mentioned towns will be dead. Maybe a couple of those areas won't die out, but you can bet your sweet cheeks that they will more than definitely feel the impact it, that's for sure!
Of all the things that could be done away with or cut back on; we decide to cut our military out!
If or when( I desperately hope it does not ) the government makes these cuts it will be more than devastating!
Along with losing our greatly needed protection and economical booster, well think ....just listen to what im saying......what you already know for just a moment....when Benning goes....along with them goes the housing market, tons of small businesses, as well as large businesses, retail stores, resturants, Total Systems, Synovis, and the banks. All of the new tourist attractions that just opened up.
White water rafting, the new hotels, well the whole town and surrounding areas will go under!
Food banks empty, as well as over crowding of homeless shelters, unemployment rate is so high its staggering!
People and their families are starving and losing their homes.
Crime rates are up, people have no choice but to rob and steal the to feed their famolies.
People dying from cold and starvation.
Once vibrant neighborhoods lingering of what they once were!
Houses rotting, streets filled with trash and criminals.
Ok..

The economic health and survival of Columbus and the surrounding community is very dependent upon the strength of Ft. Benning. Sequestration would be a big mistake for the U.S army, as well .

I am a real estate broker and wife of a former army colonel, most people don't realize how the sequestration has/will impact their lives. At least 3 times a week I meet with soldiers that have to rent their homes because they cannot afford to sell them and their brigade is being downsized. Is this any way to treat someone that is fighting to protect our freedom?

Strengthen and grow our military; don't weaken it! The Fed Govt needs to stop wasting money on JUNK like support private organizations such as Planned Parenthood and instead focus on things that strengthen this nation!

At our most vunerable time as a nation, why are these budgetary cuts being made to the military nationwide? WHY??? Find another way to balance the budget. Please keep America safe!
