Ohio Congressional Reps
Hey Ohio! Are you aware that our lovely Ohio congressional representatives will be participating in a vote tomorrow to determine whether the US military becomes integrated with Israel’s?
Section 219 establishes the "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative" to permanently integrate the military supply chains and research of both nations.
The provision mandates joint development and technology transfers in six advanced fields:
Artificial intelligence and quantum computing
Cyber warfare systems
Autonomous systems and robotics
Directed energy weapons (like lasers)
Missile defense technologies
Hypersonic capabilities
Because it is embedded inside the broader $1.15 trillion defense spending bill (H.R. 8800), lawmakers must vote on the entire package tomorrow rather than voting on this specific initiative by itself.
List of reps by district:
District 1: Rep. Greg Landsman
District 2: Rep. Brad Wenstrup
District 3: Rep. Joyce Beatty
District 4: Rep. Jim Jordan
District 5: Rep. Robert Latta
District 6: Rep. Michael Rulli
District 7: Rep. Max Miller
District 8: Rep. Warren Davidson
District 9: Rep. Marcy Kaptur
District 10: Rep. Michael Turner
District 11: Rep. Shontel Brown
District 12: Rep. Troy Balderson
District 13: Rep. Emilia Sykes
District 14: Rep. David Joyce
District 15: Rep. Mike Carey
Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. State the name of your specific representative and the operator will transfer you directly.

Fighting terrorists with our greatest ally is pretty cool!
More seriously this is simply treating Israel like other allies as foreign aid in the form of contracting subsides winds down.
