IAVA Bulletin

Dear Sean,

Great news!
Your senator, Chuck Schumer, just took a major step towards making a modern GI Bill a reality by signing onto S.22, the new legislation that is making its way through Congress. As you know, IAVA's number one priority this year is getting the new GI Bill passed, so that Iraq and Afghanistan veterans can afford to go to college after they return from war.

Please take a minute to call Senator Schumer and thank him for his support of this critical legislation. It's crucial that lawmakers hear from people like you, who are committed to ensuring that our nation's veterans get the respect they have earned.

Thank you for making your voice heard.
Sincerely,

Todd Bowers

Talking points:
Good morning / evening.
My name is your name and I'm calling from city.
I stand with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) in their call for a new GI Bill. Troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan deserve real education benefits that make college tuition affordable, and I want to thank Senator Schumer for signing on to S.22.
