Call your Senators on November 30th, supporting passage of S.2921, the Veterans First Act
We Need a Senate Floor Vote NOW
[]
WE NEED YOUR VOICES TO BE HEARD IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS
Supporting passage of the S.2921, Veterans First Act NOW !
The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee has done its job, and NOW it is time for Senate leadership to hold a floor vote on S. 2921, the Veterans First Act.
At 9:00 a.m. on November 30th, please call (202) 224 3121 give the operator your state or zip code, and he/she will connect you with your elected officials' office.
Ask to speak to the LA for Veterans Affairs.
Hello, my name is (identify yourself) and I am a constituent in your state. I am calling today to urge you to contact Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada asking that S.2921, the Veterans First Act, be moved to the floor of the Senate for vote and passage.
This important legislation would establish within the Department of Veterans Affairs a national center for the research on diagnosis and treatment of the health conditions of the descendants of veterans exposed to toxic substances during service in the Armed Forces (S.901) and provides Caregivers benefits to Vietnam Veterans in your state.
Thank you for your attention to my request.
(Leave your name, home address and phone number so the office can follow up with you later).
Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) is the only national Vietnam veterans’ organization congressionally chartered and exclusively dedicated to Vietnam-era veterans and their families. WWW.VVA.org
