URGENT ACTION REQUESTED FROM EACH OF YOU! Priority 1

STAND TOGETHER FOR YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER VETERANS!

Friday -Today thru Tuesday PM  Gulf War Veterans Asking ALL to Help!

URGENT TIME IS NOW!

Starting Friday – TODAY- AM  DC time and all day!  Then All Day Monday! and ALL Day TUESDAY!  WE need Calls to all 100 Senators!  WE Need phones, faxes, Emails Overwhelming!

The Senate is onto the Defense Appropriation Bill  for Debate and Amendment process starting Early in AM.  We need them to know we need a specific amendment funding DOD’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research(CDMRP) for Gulf War Illness Research to find treatment, diagnostic tools, and biomarkers.

Usually we have had Senate designate a specific amount for this but this year they grouped 20 of the CDMRP projects together for 50 million and many of those 20 are not directly service related to a war zone.  WE need 12 million dollars minimal. The VA Research Advisory Committee on GULF WAR ILLNESS had asked for 50 million.

Please call each of your senators and then start calls to the other ones and say you are with whatever veteran organization you choose.  You need to get pass the telephone answer staff and to the Defense Staffer for the senator!  Get their name and email.  Leave a message.  Call back and try for the Veterans person.  But remember this is a DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL so we really need the staffer that works DEFENSE!  ALSO only call the DC offices….not home offices!!!  WE are short on time to make this happen.

ALso mention that Senator Sanders is the lead on working this issue for the gulf war veterans ask them to contact Senator Sanders office to lend support for amendment process for DOD CDMRP funding for gulf war illness research!
Below is the list of phone numbers for all Senators.  Remember pay special attention to those that serve on the Appropriations or Defense Appropriations Subcommittee!!!!

WE are desperate here and need every veteran, family member, friend, employee, neighbors, on the phones and emails.

More information follows ie repeat of article posted yesterday.
