Veterans time for campaign -- Cosponsor H.R.2568
dear colleague" letter sent out to all members of the House of Representatives asking that they
enclosed is a "dear colleague" letter sent out to all members of the House of Representatives asking that they co-sponsor H.R.2568, the Cold War Victory Medal. The letter is signed by a Democrat AND a Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. And right after it went out, another Republican HASC member signed on -- Rep. Rob Simmons, (CT). This brings the total to 8 co-sponsors, and we need to keep this list growing.
So NOW is the time.to get co-sponsors, as many as we can. We need each of you to help in every way possible. The importance of showing strength and solidarity on this is that it builds support for keeping SEC 552, the Cold War Victory Medal in the House-Senate Conference this year.
We want to build support on the Senate side as well, but there our focus is on getting commitment from members of the Armed Services Committee to pledge to fight for a cold war medal in the conference. But our best opportunity is likely to be in the House-Senate conference, where cold war medals have died in the past. This year, we want support too strong to be ignored. At this moment, every one of the 535 members of the House of Representatives is important. They are all eligible to cosponsor H.R.2568, the Cold War Victory Medal Act. And we need to ask each of them to do it!
Contact me for any help or lists you need. Go to www.House.gov and begin your campaign -- Cosponsor H.R.2568! Veterans will thank you!
Go get 'em!
