@passmajstaract We have offered other ways to fund this.

[VFW Legislative Committee - PA @PAVFW_LEGCOM]

For the record I am an active member of: Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Disabled American Veterans, National Infantry Association, Intruder Association.

Only one of those groups support
HR 9237 and they are currently taking backlash from their membership.

I personally do not support any bill that costs future Veterans what current Veterans are receiving.

Accepting something instead of nothing at the cost of future Veterans is wrong. FULL STOP

“Free speech is foundational to democracy and the American way of life. That’s why servicemembers and veterans have fought and died for it for 245 years,” said Bost on October 13, 2021, during opening remarks of a committee hearing on violent extremism. “Free speech must be protected. I will oppose any effort to restrict it. It is every veteran’s right to have an opinion – even one I find radical.”

We can’t say we support veterans if it's at the expense of the next generation of veterans.
