Mission

Action Alert

Instead of voting to advance the Honoring our PACT Act to the president’s desk, 25 senators changed their votes and no longer support toxic-exposed veterans. This is the same bill 84 senators voted in favor of in June. No more delays! No more games! The Senate must pass the PACT Act now! Contact your senators and tell them no more delays, no more amendments. They must bring the Honoring our PACT Act to the floor immediately and vote YES. Sick veterans cannot afford to wait any longer for health care and benefits. The Senate must act now!
