7,000 Strong by March 20th
Posted by Michelle McCarthy on March 12 2010

Can you help us gather 7,000 signatures by next Saturday?

Last month's Storm the Hill trip was the first step towards getting disability reform passed this year, so that vets don't have to fight for their hard-earned benefits. Now, it's time to take the next step, and build momentum for this long-overdue fight.

We're urging members of Congress to sign on to support disability reform. Their support is crucial to winning this fight, but yours is even more important. Can you take a minute to add your name to our open letter?

Our goal is to gather 7,000 signatures in support of disability benefits reform before the 7th anniversary of the war in Iraq, next Saturday, March 20th.

Here's an excerpt from the open letter:

"It's been seven years since the war in Iraq began, and there are over two million new veterans. Far too often, men and women who bravely served our country overseas are forced to wait months, even years, before receiving their hard-earned benefits."

Click here to add your name and show support for reforming the broken VA disability claims process.

There is no better way to honor the men and women who have bravely served our country than by ensuring they don't have to fight to receive their hard-earned benefits.

Add your name here and help us make sure that veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan get their benefits, not endless red tape.

Thank you for your support.
