January 2, 2026 Update
While Washington celebrated New Year’s, I was building the trap. On January 1 I hit 18 states plus Washington, D.C. with 22 coordinated press releases. Not a drip. A flood. Each one tied local losses to the same bottleneck and put names on the record: Senator Roger Wicker is blocking the Major Richard Star Act and Senator John Thune is letting it sit.
On January 2 I turned that flood into a weapon. I built the command center and indexed every release in one place so anyone can find their state in seconds and hand their Senate offices a public receipt.
Here is the index

Why this was critical
A single press release can be ignored. Twenty two landing at once cannot. Syndication multiplies the footprint. Indexing makes it searchable. Now your senator’s name can be tied to Major Richard Star Act, S.Amdt 4056, and your state’s losses in the same breath. That is pressure. That is accountability. That is how you force movement.
Your mission today
Find your state. Copy your link.
https://54kveterans.org/press-releases
Email both of your senators using their official Senate contact forms. Paste your state link. Ask one question.
Will you push S.Amdt 4056 to a recorded vote yes or no
Hit them on X and Facebook with the same link and the same question. Do not debate. Do not write paragraphs. Link plus yes or no.
Use this script
Senator, my state is listed in the Jan 1 Major Richard Star Act releases: LINK. Will you push S.Amdt 4056 to a recorded vote yes or no? @SenatorWicker @LeaderJohnThune

This is the line in the sand. The Major Richard Star Act has the support. The delay is a choice. Wicker is blocking the fix. Thune is protecting the stall.
And when Senate staffers walk in on their first Monday back, I expect chaos behind closed doors. Not because they suddenly grew a conscience, but because their inbox will be full of state links, screenshots, and one question they cannot spin: will your senator push S.Amdt 4056 to a recorded vote, yes or no.
I am 15 hours ahead, 8,000 miles away. I work while they sleep. This is bipartisan. If the S.Amdt 4056 cosponsor list does not grow, January 15 will be worse for every office that stays silent, Republican or Democrat.
