I’m calling on Congress to keep its promise to veterans.

Protect the VA. Reject TCAVA and any other attempt to cut, weaken, or privatize the care veterans earned through our service. Give the VA the people and resources it needs to serve every veteran.

And end the wounded veteran tax.

Right now, approximately 54,000 combat-injured veterans are being forced to give up part of their military retirement pay just to receive disability benefits. They earned both—and they should receive both.

The Major Richard Star Act would fix this injustice. It has overwhelming bipartisan support, but it is still being denied a vote. Every member of the House should sign the discharge petition, bring the bill to the floor, and pass it.

Veterans should not have to keep fighting their own government for the benefits they earned. We kept our oath. Now Congress must keep its promise: protect the VA, end the wounded veteran tax, and do right by those who served.
