Take Action: Don't Allow The Debt Crisis To Affect Our Vets
Tell Congress to keep cutting veterans' funding off the table during financial negotiations.
Goal: 20,000
•
Progress: 3,169
Sponsored by: The Veterans Site
"No matter what fiscal crisis we face, no matter how divided we may be over approaches to cutting our debt and deficit, no matter how heated the rhetoric here in Washington D.C. gets, we have to keep our commitments to our veterans and service members," Chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Patty Murray said in a speech to the Senate.
Chairman Murray is right. With all of the financial uncertainty occurring within our government, it's important that we don't allow the confusion and dissent among parties negatively affect funding for veterans' care.
As Congress continues to debate how to allocate finances and where to cut funding, Congress members must keep in mind the dedicated service our veterans have demonstrated. While we may need to reexamine where we are spending our money as a country, we need to also ensure veterans don't suffer.
Sign the petition telling Congress to keep Veterans' care funding off the table!
Dear Congress,
As you continue to work diligently on a solution to America's financial woes, I ask that you keep in mind the time and dedication our service members have given of themselves.
While I understand the need to cut spending in many areas, Veterans' care shouldn't be an option. Those serving or who have served in the armed forces should be taken care of, regardless of the difficulties our country is facing.
Please make sure that veterans care isn't affected by the debt crisis.
Thank you.

IF you want to make cuts take a pay cut yourselves. And start paying for your medical benefits- they are better then any VET gets- who gave their all for our country. IF you cannot do your job then you need to be replaced.

Football Players and other sports get to much money. The men who fight for us get less pay and get ignored. Do Better!

Before you cut veteran care, put some real investigation and triage closer to home. What cuts have been made among the political elite?

Don't cut services to our vets or our military. There are many areas that can be cut. Govt officials can stop taking raises til the country is in a better position to give them. They take from us but still give to themselves, including the president.

Vet care should NEVER be an option when it comes to spending cuts. The consideration sickens me. How dare they put a price on the care of those who made sacrifices unknown to most of them. I've yet to see congressional pay on that cutting table. Try that!

How can you in good faith cut benefits when a large majority of people on Capital Hill have never served. You send them off to war and expect them to front the cost of care for disabilities incurred on active duty? Shame on you.

To those in Congress have not served in the military have no conception of what the cuts to military benefits will do. The fluff they have promised to their constituents (remember the bridge to no where?) cutting military benefits is a national disgrace.

Vets deserve more than they get right now! Don't take from what little we give them! Thats wrong! Do budget cuts elsewhere! Like PBS. They don't need funding!
