Hey everyone, nice thing you all got going on here.
I have looked over the site and forum, and would like to ask where do you all discuss legislation for the vets, and whether anyone of you would be interested in helping get legislation started in your state, similar to what I am pushing for here is PA.
In PA, we have been pushing for contracting opportunities for Veteran and Disabled Veteran Owned businesses.
The state of PA currently has programs for women and minority owned businesses, and the state currently spends $450,000,000/ yr with these 2 groups, yet spends nothing with VOB and SDVOB.
The two bills here in PA are House bill 62, and Senate Bill 87.
You can find them here:

This would open up opportunities for Vets in every state.
So, if you are in PA and would like to discuss and support these with me, or if you are interested in lobbying a representative in your state to introduce this legislation in your home, I can help anyone with this.
Any comments?
