Team, Exactly one year ago today, President Biden signed the PACT Act into law. This was a historic step toward supporting our servicemembers. The PACT Act marks the largest expansion of benefits and services for veterans exposed to toxins in more than 30 years — which the DOD says could help as many as 3.5 million people. I have seen the effects of being exposed to burn pits and toxic chemicals. Soldiers I served alongside in Iraq and Afghanistan need care — which is why I pushed hard to pass this legislation. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees. Extremist Republicans, including Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, refused to vote for the PACT Act — even while they praise our veterans on Twitter. It’s not just this legislation either. MAGA Republicans have shown time and time again that they’re willing to put party over people — even at the expense of our veterans. Donald Trump calling servicemembers who’ve died in war “suckers'' and “losers.” House Republicans hijacking a bipartisan defense bill to insert their right-wing agenda. Our servicemembers deserve better than to be used as political pawns. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
It is our solemn responsibility to care for our country’s servicemembers. I will never stop fighting for those who served our country, because they never stopped fighting for us. Thank you, — Jason Crow |
