The few and the proud have no Commandant

Today, you can do something about that. John— The Marine Corps is the tip of the spear. The Germans called them Teufel Hunden — Devil Dogs — after they fought them in the First World War. They are the heroes of Iwo Jima. The few, the proud. And because of Tommy Tuberville, they are without a …

Unbelievable

The GOP filled the VA bill with culture war amendments. Hey there John, We reached out last week when the GOP filled the Defense bill with amendments pushing their radical social agenda amendments, turning the entire mechanism that we fund our Military with into another culture war. Now, they…

bad enough

In 2020 Tuberville promised to donate his entire salary to Veterans. Best we can tell, he hasn’t. As if it wasn’t bad enough that Tommy Tuberville is crippling the command structure of the world’s strongest Military. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he’s doing it to restrict health care acces…

Tuberville had months to find Veterans

Thanks to you, we doubled his number in 48 hours. We’re really proud today, John. On Tuesday, Tuberville pushed out a pretty weak story about how he found 5,000 Veterans who support his blockade of senior Military promotions. We figured we could beat his number pretty easily, so we came to y…

📯 Roll call: Need your response 📯

Tuberville found 5000 Veterans. Let’s beat that. John, Take a look at this: This is from an article on AL.com. Apparently Senator Tuberville found a bunch of Veterans who support his blockade of senior military promotions. If you ask us, those are rookie numbers. There are more than a mill…

Kevin McCarthy turned the NDAA into a culture war

So, for the first time in VoteVets history, we opposed it. John - We had to make a tough decision this week. The NDAA is the piece of legislation that authorizes funding for our Military. It pays our troops. We support its passage every year, and we work to get our friends and allies onboard, …
