As a taxpayer, I oppose this action as the sale of spent military brass is a source of income that, to a degree, offsets other government expenditures. In addition, as one that participates in military rifle shooting matches, it reduces my option to buy reloaded ammunition at a reasonable cost. We must remember, ownership of government property whether new, excess or surplus, is ultimately by the people. As my (senator/congressman), I request you to represent me and take the necessary actions to reverse this directive by the Department of Defense. Thank you, (Signed) (City, State)" Here is a sample message to send to your senators and congressman:
