Congress has returned to Washington, but after a month in session has yet to give its final voting approval to veterans health care legislation that is desperately needed by sick and disabled veterans. This legislation is totally non-controversial and would help the Department of Veterans Affairs be a better health care system for veterans who must rely on VA to meet their specialized needs. We ask members of our Commander's Action Network to use the letter DAV has prepared in this CAN Alert, or to prepare your own individualized letter, and send it immediately to your elected Members of the House and Senate, to urge them to complete this important work.
We are concerned that as Congress turns its attention to the economy, the President's Fiscal Year 2011 budget, and other pressing matters, Congress will forget divert its attention and this important veterans legislation may lapse, only to await repetition next year, when Congress would have to begin all over to consider it. Please use this opportunity to help prevent that outcome.
