Call Congress: VA Budget Now 2 Months Late

Legislative Dispatches The VA’s budget for next year is still languishing in Congress. Last week, Congress passed another extension to the VA budget deadline, giving them until December 18th to pass the budget. This is the second VA Budget extension they gave themselves since the original deadline of September 30th. We need to turn up the temperature - please call your Senators and tell them to stop playing politics with the VA Budget and vote on the VA budget ASAP.
