Priorities Inc. is comprised of the following four entities:

Military Advisory Committee:

a dozen distinguished military analysts and experts on the subject of excess Pentagon spending, including the Chair, Vice Admiral John J. Shanahan (USN, ret.); Former CIA Director, Admiral Stansfield Turner (USN, ret.); Dr. Lawrence Korb, Former Asst. Sec. Of Defense in the Reagan Administration; Rear Admiral Eugene Carroll (USN, ret.); and Col. David Hackworth (USA, ret.), America’s most decorated living combat veteran.

Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities:

Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities was formed in 1996 because top American businesspeople believe that the federal government's spending priorities are undermining our national security. Advised by retired admirals and generals, the Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities 500 members include the present or former CEOs of Bell Industries, Black Entertainment Television, Eastman Kodak, Goldman Sachs, Men's Warehouse, and Phillips Van Heusen -- as well as Ted Turner and Paul Newman.

Our aim is to increase America's investment in programs that benefit our children (like schools, health care, HeadStart) by cutting Cold War weapons systems and shifting the savings. That's just 15% of the Pentagon budget, but $51 billion available every year to meet children's basic needs.

Religious Leaders for Sensible Priorities:

leading religious leaders of denominations representing 30 million Americans, including the Presbyterians, Methodists, Jews, Buddhists National Baptists, and American Muslims, as well as a host of individual clerics.

Entertainers for Sensible Priorities:

world-renowned leaders from the creative community, including Paul Newman, Ted Turner, and others.
