Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives
“Republicans just gave us the middle finger by voting against the Honoring Our PACT Act, which protects toxin-exposed veterans.
We can’t say we’re surprised. Time and time again Republicans have shown they couldn’t care less about improving the lives of their constituents – and that includes veterans.
This is the same party that proclaims to fight for our freedoms and “advocates” for veterans. But clearly, when it comes time to step up and give us what we deserve, they decide to stand in the way.
Common Defense has been on the frontlines of the fight to get this bill passed because we know what a big difference it’ll make in the day-to-day lives of us veterans. And we’re thrilled that we’re one step closer to getting it signed into law – no thanks to the Republicans who tried to shoot it down.” [efn_note]Common Defense – Policy Agenda[/efn_note]
