The Situation: Senate leadership is trying to sneak the Defense funding bill through TODAY without the Major Richard Star Act attached. They are using procedural tricks to strip our amendment and leave 54,000 combat-injured veterans behind silently.

The Action: We must flood the lines right now. Tell them: No Defense Bill without the Star Act.
