Better Senators for Veterans: Rick Noriega
We are near our goal for the quarter $1500. We only need $65 to get there. If six people give $10.50 we are there.
Click here to donate to Better Senators for Veterans.
This fund is about more than just donating, it's about raising awareness for an issue. It's also about letting the incumbent Republicans know that we will not allow them to say one thing about supporting Veterans, do another and then change their mind again because the public is unhappy.
Weeks ago 22 Republican Senators including John Cornyn, Lamar Alexander, Jeff Sessions and Mitch McConnell said that the Webb GI Bill would hurt retention rates and they could not support the bill in that form. We raised that issue and collectively said how can they say they support our troops. They said they voted for the GI Bill this week because it transfered benefits. What they really did was see polling and heard from constituents showing that they were wrong. Instead of admitting mistakes, we are getting spin.
Where have any of these been on the issue of the disparity in health care treatment for female veterans? Where are any of these in terms of bringing our troops home?
$65 and we will continue to fight and say that we delivered for Rick Noriega and a host of others. Veterans deserve better respect and treatment and should not get spin from Republicans that never served our country.
Again I ask you to click here and donate $5.01, $10.01 or whatever you can afford.
