🚨 Tell Congress: VOTE NO on TCAVA! Section 108 puts veterans' earned benefits at risk. One generation should NEVER pay for another's benefits. PASS the clean, standalone Major Richard Star Act! 🇺🇸 ACT NOW: georgiavfw.org/tcava #TCAVA #VeteransBenefits #GeorgiaVFW

VFW Dept of Georgia retweeted
Budget rules do not force lawmakers to reduce future compensation for veterans with service-connected tinnitus or sleep apnea. That’s a choice, not a requirement. Congress has repeatedly changed, waived, exempted, or adjusted PAYGO rules and laws when it chooses to. Why not do so for veterans? Congress can choose to help today’s veterans WITHOUT cutting benefits for future veterans. Take action and tell Congress to oppose any version of TCAVA that cuts veterans’ earned benefits: votervoice.net/VFW/Campaigns… #VFW #ActionAlert #HonorTheContract #ProtectVeteransBenefits #Veterans #StillServing
