About Protect America
Month
America's Armed Forces are under stress
and at risk. The Obama Administration's plan to stop buying
next-generation equipment means America's military could quickly
lose its unrivaled primacy. President Barack Obama has proposed
defense spending cuts to pay for domestic initiatives, and Defense
Secretary Robert Gates offered significant modernization cuts
within the defense budget for next year. Together, these will
ensure military readiness falls even further.
Yet, America still faces serious
threats in the world and now is not the time to weaken our
military.
The Heritage Foundation began focusing
on defense spending during its first-ever Protect America
Month on June 1. To kick off the month, we had an address by
former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney on June 1. Throughout
subsequent weeks, we released special publications and hosted
events showcasing why we must commit to protecting America in an
increasingly dangerous world. Protect America Month will
conclude with the closing address by Speaker Gingrich on July
20.

Leadership for
America
Protect America is one of the 10
major transformational initiatives in the Heritage Foundation's
Leadership For America campaign.
For more than 30 years, The Heritage
Foundation has provided leadership for America , building a
movement that launched a presidency, defeated a tyranny and turned
the course of history. Now in a new century, the threats to our
nation continue to grow and expand. Yet while the American people
increasingly want better answers and solutions they are getting
more slogans and promises.
It becomes our task, then, to build on our accomplishments,
complete the unfinished work of the day and confront the expanding
challenges before us.
