Politicians in Washington like to ram through bad pieces of legislation that benefit special interests during a "lame duck" session of Congress. With the election over and with the lame duck session beginning, the Senate might try to sneak through a deceptively-named VA reform bill called the "Veterans First Act." This bill should really be called the "Washington First Act," as it protects a broken system and puts big government interests ahead of the needs of veterans.

The Veterans First Act is a watered-down bill that protects bureaucrats. No wonder the VA’s biggest union supports it!

That is why we need you to contact your Senators TODAY/ TOMORROW

and urge them to oppose the Veterans First Act.

Under the Veterans First Act, the VA would be constrained by even more bureaucratic red tape and it would still be difficult to fire bad VA employees. Even worse, the bill would remove caps on taxpayer-funded bonuses for senior VA officials - who got an average of $10,000 each in bonuses in 2015.

It is no wonder the Veterans First Act is strongly supported by the VA's leadership and big-government unions in Washington - this bill protects the jobs and salaries of those already running a broken system. The VA has proven time and again that it's fundamentally broken - demands of agency bureaucrats should be the least of Congress' concerns.

We need you to use your powerful voice in Congress

"But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.  It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government."

Andrew Jackson

Farewell Address, March 4, 1837
