Team --

It should go without saying but we'll say it anyway:

It should not have taken a protest from VoteVets, and thousands of veterans standing up for National Guardsmen on the front lines of COVID response, for Donald Trump to not take them off duty one day short of them being able to accrue time for Federal benefits.

Yesterday the administration announced it would be extending the deployment of our National Guard fighting the COVID-19 pandemic across the country. This action was taken because of Senator Tammy Duckworth and Senator Gary Peters, because of Representative Ted Lieu and Representative Max Rose and because this team called out Trump for his shameful attempt to nickel and dime our military.

Once again, we've taken Trump to task on his disrespect to our military and forced him to act. But it's not enough, and the deployment order extension for a few months isn't enough.

We've got to keep the pressure on. Trump must extend the orders as long as governors say they need the help to fight the pandemic. Add your name today to the VoteVets petition today if you're with us >>

Time and again this team has proven it has what it takes to hold Trump accountable for his bad behavior towards our military. This is no different, but we still have work to do on this issue, so thanks for sticking with us until deployed National Guardsmen can continue their critical work without having to worry or wonder about their future.
