Putting Veterans Funding First Act

Starting on October 1^st, DAV will be kicking off an increased push for Congress to fix the VA and increase its capacity for the long run.
What's significant about October 1^st is that it is the anniversary of the government shutdown, which put millions of Americans and veterans at risk.
Our primary focus will be calling for Congress to bring the bipartisan Putting Veterans Funding First Act up for a floor vote before the end of the year. This legislation is critical for protecting veterans from future shutdowns and the continuous cycle of late budgets through an advance appropriation for all VA benefits, programs and services.
We will be reaching back out to you via email on October 1^st, providing simple ways you can get involved. Keep a lookout for it.
Additionally, DAV will be making a push throughout election season, which culminates on November 4, 2014, working to educate legislators and candidates on the core challenges our veterans face and need for reforms. We will follow up with resources and tips for your engagement in this push as well.
Working together, we have the power to create legislative change that improves the lives of our nation's veterans, their families and their caregivers.
Thank you for your continued support.
Regards,
Ron Hope
National Commander
