Giuliani Warns Virginia Jobs are in Defense Cut Crosshairs

Former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani made a stop in Virginia Beach recently to warn veterans, citizens, and workers alike that the looming Obama Defense cuts are threatening to hit the Commonwealth the hardest. The article details Giuliani's warning that Virginia's job climate could be in for some difficult times ahead if nothing is done about these cuts.

We are home to the Pentagon, Quantico, Oceana Naval Station, and Langley Air Force Base; some of the most important and famous military installations in the world. This is not some far-off problem. Thousands of Virginian livelihoods are hovering in the crosshairs of these proposed cuts.

President Obama wants to cut the military, and that means Virginia jobs and Virginia families. Several Virginia Republicans have come out against Obama's proposed cuts, including Gov. McDonnell. Its time to let the White House know that cuts to our military don't only hurt our security abroad, but are dangerous to the welfare of Virginians at home.

See what elected leaders like Governor McDonnell, Lt. Governor Bolling, and Attorney General Cuccinelli have to say about Obama's Defense cuts here
