All MIAP Supporters,
Please look at the link below for the current status of the US House of Representative
Bill 2642.
This Bill is everything that we have worked for and strived to achieve since Sept 2006. We
finally get it introduced and now WE must do our part to get
Co-sponsors. You will note that there are only THREE (3) co sponsors
at this time. Two from Ohio and our Representative from California.
Co sponsors [as of 2009-07-13]
Rep. Steve Austria [R-OH7]
Rep. Walter Herger [R-CA2]
Rep. Steven LaTourette [R-OH14]
Ladies and Gentleman we will never achieve any positive results with this kind of support.
You need to contact your local representative to get on the co-sponsor list.
Remember every phone call or
letter to politicians equals 10,000 votes in their calculations. We
can make our presence known. If this law is passed it will make MIAP
a veteran's organization recognized by Congress and this achieves what
we need to work in our states, with the Department of Veterans Affairs
and all other agencies.
