VoteVets.org
MORE INFORMATION
VoteVets.org continues
to focus on matters including, but not limited to, foreign policy, energy
security, veterans’ unemployment, and opening military service to life-long
Americans born to undocumented immigrants, as well as continued investment in
care for veterans.
More often than not, Veterans have a stake in the top
issues of the day, and VoteVets.org is committed to getting their
voices heard on these issues. For that reason, VoteVets.org has, and will continue to, work with all
progressive allies representing labor, immigration, gay and lesbian rights, and
environmentalists, when their issues coincide with the needs of troops and
veterans.
