Support the Hill Mobilization from Home

 Can't make it to Washington? You can still make a difference.

·       Honor the Contract.

·       No Cuts to Veterans' Benefits.

·       Vote NO on the Take Care of America'sVeterans Act.

I'm calling to ask Representative                    to vote NO on the Take Care of America's Veterans Act.

While I support many of the bill's goals, it's wrong to reduce future veterans' earned

disability compensation to pay for other veterans' benefits. Veterans should never be asked to fund veterans' benefits. Please vote NO onthe Take Care of America'sVeterans Act. Thank you for your time.

Hi,

This week, VFW members and supporters from across the country are meeting with Members of Congresson Capitol Hill to opposethe Take Care of America'sVeterans Act.

While the bill includes severalimportant provisions that the VFW supports, it also relieson reducing future veterans' earned disability compensation to help pay for other veterans' benefits.

We believe that's wrong. Veterans should never be asked to fund veterans' benefits.

Please take just a few minutes to contact your Representative and urge them to vote NO on the Take Care of America's Veterans Act.

You can call the U.S. CapitolSwitchboard at (202) 224-3121and ask to be connected to

your Representative's office.

You can simply say:

"I'm calling to ask Representative                to vote NO on the Take Care of America's Veterans Act because veterans should never be asked to fund veterans' benefits."
