With our troops still engaged in two theaters of war and the number of wounded and those killed in action continuing to rise daily, your vote this November is of the utmost importance to make sure our Veterans and their families have the proper representation in Washington DC.
Many of our congressional leaders in Washington DC say they "Support our Troops", yet many vote against you and your families. The IAVA will show you the legislation and the votes. They do not care if they are a republican or a democrat, they use the same methodology for grading on each piece of legislation for regardless of party affiliation.
Don’t waste your vote this November on empty promises, before you walk into the voting booth and vote for one of them, first learn how they voted for you.
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld once said to a soldier who wanted to know why he had no body armor, "you go to War with the Army you have, not the Army you wished you had".
So when you go to vote this November or if vote early, go with the knowledge you can have, right here and right now, not the knowledge you wish you had. Don’t take their word that they "Support the Troops", take how they voted to "Support the Troops"
