@wh_dunbar @GeneMundy65 @SenatorLocke @AWGNorfolk @ReevesVA @pwcdanica @BillDeSteph @MarkSicklesVA @NewCraigforVA And for years to come I hope it includes post baccalaureate programs. If this program is to allow spouses of those who are considered permanently disabled to continue school, then they need to be able to support a family off those degrees, which means more then a bachelors.

@GeneMundy65 @VivekGRamaswamy The military has given our family so many opportunities. The government has given us headaches.

@TedRoberts96 @funandpolitics @SenLouiseLucas I said months ago that I believed this was all a result of a money grab by the universities that went awry. Seems that was true. Are they all going to decrease tuition since they have money coming? Nope.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

@AWGNorfolk @13NewsNow Thank you for your support. See you in Richmond again soon. Hopeful something will be accomplished the next time.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

@8NEWS We got into the mess because they didn’t follow normal legislative procedure. Senate democrats trying to shove things through once again ignoring normal procedures isn’t acceptable.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

This is hysterical. Not the governor, not senate republics nor the entire house of delegates support their position and yet they don’t see that they are the problem. @VaHouse @VASenate @GovernorVA

@ObenshainChris Thank you. We are tired. As I sure you are as well. I just want the government to do the right thing. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

[Elizabeth Dole Foundation @DoleFoundation]

The Elizabeth Dole Foundation has partnered with 30 other organizations representing veterans, caregivers, survivors, and their families to express our concern about the potential national precedent that recent changes to education benefits in Virginia might set if enacted.

@wh_dunbar Whole lot of children and teens in the galley getting a crash course on how Virginia politics works.

@jeremy_d_smith1 @BradKutner I seem to be praying for a lot of miracles to happen lately.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

@jeremy_d_smith1 @BradKutner I hear expedited and I hear nothing is going to be done.

[Former RPV Chair Rich Anderson @RichAndersonRPV]

Democrats advocate for full student loan forgiveness and free college tuition for ALL students—but @VASenateDems convene today to gut VMSDEP (Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program). Tell Democrats HANDS OFF our military heroes! https://t.co/7L6w7Kub8D

@thebull1856 @bluevirginia You don’t legislate through the budget. It was rushed and snuck in and now it’s a mess that they all caused so they all need to come together and fix it.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

@DaveCrance @vademocrats They’ll have the opportunity to make it right tomorrow. We all will be watching. #repealornodeal #dockethb6003

[Laura B @lbbligh]

@WayneRemington @ryanmcdougle Military families in Williamsburg like mine are waiting to see if you’ll support us tomorrow Senator.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

@TedRoberts96 @VASenate @VaHouse It’s time for this whole mess to be over with.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

@juliePshepard @VASenate @VaHouse Seems simple enough. Just do the right thing.

[Laura B @lbbligh]

I speak up and share for the families in VA who don’t even know this is going on, for the ones who are struggling and can’t speak up, for the families who are working and can’t take a day off. @VASenate @WinsomeSears @GovernorVA

[Heath @whd_93]

Veterans. Hear the words of Army veteran Brian Smith and follow the link to tell @GovernorVA and @SenLouiseLucas that veterans are not political pawns for partisan point-gathering. Repeal the cuts to tuition for families of dead and disabled veterans.

Daughter and I are headed to Richmond tomorrow for a realtime view of how a bill becomes a law. #repealornodeal

@SenLouiseLucas A women of intelligence, who’s served her constituents and state as long as you have, I refuse to believe this is how you want to be known, as the women who stood in the way of a bipartisan effort to rectify a bipartisan problem.#repealornodeal @GovernorVA @vmsdepfriends
