[Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD]

VICTORY! Today the House passed the Major Richard Star Act, my bipartisan bill to ensure combat-injured veterans receive their full retirement and disability benefits.

Thank you to @repmarktakano, and every member who signed our discharge petition to force this vote.

Most importantly, thank you to the millions of Veterans who have served our country. You earned this relief, and the fight continues. Now it’s the Senate’s turn to pass it and I’ll keep pushing this until it gets to the President’s desk.

[Josh Brown @Brown78Joshua]

@SenatorWicker Honor us by passing the “Major Richard Star Act”!!! @VetsJusAlliance

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenRonJohnson And still no comment of support on the major Richard star act? Ok Ron

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenatorWicker Show us by passing the major Richard star act today.

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Veterans Day is tomorrow, and it’s about more than thanking those who served. It’s about making sure we keep our promises to them.

This is why we became the 218th signature on the discharge petition to force a House vote on the Major Richard Star Act, which would give combat-injured veterans their full retirement and disability benefits.

We have the signatures. Now let’s GET IT PASSED.

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenRonJohnson Put America first. Problem solved

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenRonJohnson That’s a childish statement. You’re not gonna work for the people because you’re upset about the elections? Maybe start working for the American people and elections wouldn’t have been that bad. Pass the major Richard star act Ronnie.

[Mark Takano @RepMarkTakano]

It's time for the House to vote on the Major Richard Star Act. The Speaker has two days to bring this bill to the floor and finally end the wounded veteran tax.

[House Veterans' Affairs Democrats @VetAffairsDems]

Just now, Ranking Member @RepMarkTakano notified the House of an intention to proceed with the motion to vote on the Major Richard Star Act. @SpeakerJohnson has two days to set the final vote. It's time to finally prioritize our nation's veterans, Mr. Speaker.

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@RepMarkTakano @LeaderJohnThune do the right thing and bring it to a vote in the senate

[VFW National HQ @VFWHQ]

VFW advocates are on Capitol Hill today and tomorrow, meeting with congressional offices to deliver a message on behalf of veterans nationwide: NO on TCAVA. YES on the CLEAN, stand-alone Major Richard Star Act.

Two days. Every congressional office. One message: Honor the contract. 🇺🇸

Can’t be with us in Washington, D.C.? Lead the effort at home! Call YOUR congressional offices while advocates meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and add your name to the petition!

Back in D.C.

Let’s pass the Major Richard Star Act for our veterans this week.

[David Star @DavidSt59726197]

It is time for all members of Congress to support our veterans

@SenRonJohnson Any politician that doesn’t support combat wounded veterans retirement pay and blocking the major Richard star act is amongst the most corrupt and shouldn’t be in office.

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenRonJohnson @washingtonpost It’s horribly corrupt. Politicians sending billions to Ukraine while saying we can’t afford combat wounded veterans retirement pay. You blocked the major Richard star act which would have fixed this for combat wounded veterans.

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenatorWicker What about the major Richard star act? Passing it this week?

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenRonJohnson My question to you is why don’t you support the major Richard star act? You don’t think combat wounded veterans have earned their retirement pay?

[Veterans Justice Alliance @VetsJusAlliance]

@SenRonJohnson You blocked the major Richard star act, preventing combat wounded veterans from receiving their earned retirement pay. That’s pretty swampy.
