House Passes Budget Resolution
Please send a message to your Representative TODAY!
After extended debate and defeat of an alternative budget resolution offered by Budget Committee Ranking Member John Spratt, Jr. (D S.C.), the House passed H. Con. Res. 393 by the narrow margin of
215 for and 212 against the resolution.
The DAV and all other major veterans organizations had urged House members to vote against H. Con. Res. 393 because it under funds veterans? programs, primarily veterans? medical care, in 2005 and cuts funding below current levels in the 4 years that follow.
Those members who voted for H. Con. Res. 393, voted against veterans; those members who voted against H. Con. Res. 393, voted for veterans.
You are encouraged to let your House member know of your disapproval and disappointment if he or she voted for H. Con. Res. 393, or to let your House member know of your sincere appreciation if he or she stood by veterans and voted against H. Con. Res. 393. If you enter your zip code, the proper letter based on your member's vote will automatically come up.
As always, thank you for your support.
