I believe that IAVA is an outstanding group of young veterans, working for veterans who would simply like to have the benefits that they have earned. I just received the following from http://iava.org/ (http://iava.org/)
Dear Vance,
https://mail.staghornres.com/exchweb/img/clear1x1.gif (https://mail.staghornres.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2%26c=sWoyvXAYOX6UpBacYbQOsli7pO4mzTQr )Would you contribute $5 to help a veteran fight for reform on Capitol Hill?
In just 10 days, over two dozen Iraq and Afghanistan veterans will deploy to Washington, D.C. for IAVA's 5th annual Storm the Hill trip - an historic week of meetings with over 100 members of Congress.
Here's where you come in. Can you pitch in to help get them the supplies they need? (https://mail.staghornres.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2%26c=5ddFT8OXp5JWy6lZI7GJ51i7pO4mzTQr )
The vets will be meeting face-to-face with the White House, the VA, the Department of Defense, and members of Congress to present our legislative priority for 2010: reforming the VA's archaic disability claims system. Right now, some wounded warriors are waiting up to two years for disability benefits - that is unacceptable.
Click here to contribute towards the trip - $5 can pay for transportation between meetings, and with $10, you can pay for one of their meals. (https://mail.staghornres.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2%26c=gx9JNh%252FcIjgcDdt4MadcdVi7pO4m zTQr)
Two years ago, this trip was focused on getting a new G.I. Bill. And that passed. Last year, we focused on securing advance funding for the VA. Now, that's a reality as well.
Click here to make a donation towards Storm the Hill, and help write this year's success story. (https://mail.staghornres.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2%26c=c0dBJelBgc%252BR8Xord1EON1i7pO4m zTQr)
The men and women going to Storm the Hill aren't lobbyists or politicians. They're members of our nation's newest generation of heroes, and along with veterans across the country, they're counting on you to help us win this fight.
Thank you for standing with us.
Sincerely,
Paul
