In This Issue
1. GI Bill Call to Action
2. House Holds Veteran Suicide Hearing
3. Senate Holds Hearing on Benefit Bills
4. Senate Committee Boosts Pay, Rejects Fees
1. GI Bill Call to Action: The VFW still needs you to urge your senators to support S. 22, and your representatives to support H.R. 5740, so that the VFW goal of creating a new GI Bill for the 21st century becomes a reality. As of this morning, 57 senators are supporting S. 22, a number that is unchanged from last week. Introduced by Jim Webb (D-VA), S. 22 has strong bipartisan support from fellow senators such as Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and John Warner (R-VA). Its companion bill in the House, H.R. 5740, increased by 27 to 293 co-sponsors, or 67% of the House. Introduced by Harry Mitchell (D-AZ), it, also has strong bipartisan support from fellow congressmen such as Bill Young (R-FL) and Chris Smith (R-NJ). America's newest Greatest Generation needs your help to bring educational benefits back in line with current day tuitions. Use this link to contact your members: http://capwiz.com/vfw/dbq/officials/.

Legislative Committee Needs Assistance

Commanders and Comrades,
We are currently seeking your assistance in accomplishing one of the duties of the 2007-2008 National Legislative Committee members. We are required to establish a network of individuals, who will contact their Congressman in response to VFW Legislative Alerts. These Comrades must be willing to contact and/or meet with their Congressional representative or Senator in their local Congressional District Office or to contact their Washington, D.C. office in regards to the VFW’s legislative agenda. Comrades interested in becoming a part of the statewide network should have access to a telephone, computer and/or fax machine. US Postal Service mail, especially when mailed to any legislative office in Washington, D.C., delivery is delayed for several months while the mail is routed through a security examination. To become a part of the statewide network, please contact Elree or Ray-
