1/5. Here is a thread about the #PACTACT because we as Americans have a short attention span, but we cannot let this be forgotten. Part 1: Veterans are camping out on the Capitol steps to bring attention to the cause. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
2/5. Part 2. The stumbling block for @SenToomey was making spending on this act "mandatory" vs "discretionary." He fudged the truth, though. No one added new spending. Making this spending mandatory acknowledges the debt the Nation owes these veterans.
3/5. Here in Nebraska, @SenatorFischer supported Senator Toomey, not Veterans. Even several days later, you will find no press release from Senator Fischer as to the rationale for her vote. Here is her official website. fischer.senate.gov/public/index.c…
4/5. Also, here in Nebraska, @SenSasse has issued no press release as to the rationale for his vote to support Senator Toomey, not Veterans. Here is his official website. sasse.senate.gov/public/index.c…
5/5. Yes, the news cycle moves on, but we cannot let this bill die. If you are a Veteran or a loved one of a Veteran, or you care that millions of Veterans deployed and became ill for you, then take about two minutes of your time to call your Senator.
