My sister wanted to make the Navy her lifetime career but after four and half years she fainted a few times. They did test and x-rays and found she had a "bruise" on her brain and since she worked on a ship she was medically released. She now has a mental health diagnosis with 10% disability for her head trauma. The disability is for medical purposes but not for the mental health. The little check she gets is not even enough to pay for a full month of groceries. She has to pay for her medications and since she can't pay the full price for her meds, they take payments out of her small check every month. I have tried to get her re-diagnosed but so far no luck. We have to help her financially.
Arcadia supported: Reform Military Discharge Policies for Injured Service MembersI am a Navy Veteran. I enlisted at the age of 34. Went through boot camp at 35 - at 43 I had to have partial knee replacement. There is no reason I can't perform the duties of a Personal Specialist, which is what I was, though I can't meet the physical standards to serve. It was the best years of my life and I would serve again today with pride and my all if given the opportunity. The military needs seasoned veterans like me. Please allow us to fill the roles while those who still can meet the physical demands take on those such roles.
Linda supported: Reform Military Discharge Policies for Injured Service MembersMorrison park is a fantastic spot! It's within walking distance for me and my 5 kids under 6. Having a place to let them run their energy out is vital and is a great asset to the community.
Sabrina supported: Petition to Preserve and Revitalize Morrison Park, Shelbyville, IndianaAs an aid worker in Afghanistan, I met so many Afghans who risked their lives every day to help American soldiers and aid workers. Many of them returned from exile in other countries because they believed the US government's promise that we would help them reshape their nation into a representative democracy. We lied to them, and abandoned their dream of a new, better Afghanistan. The least we can do is to keep the people who helped us safe from the consequences of our failure.
Kelsey supported: Afghan & Iraqi Translators Saved American Lives. Tell Congress to Recognize them as HeroesFormer HUD-certified housing counselor here. I’ve worked with 1,000’s of hard-working ppl who needed a little help to afford their first home! These funds have uncalculable benefit to working-class Americans who simply want the stability of home, and contribute to their local economies through property taxes!
Sarah supported: Seniors, Veterans, Domestic Survivors Could Lose Housing Protections — Contact Congress!!Where you live determines so much about your life - whether your children will attend well-resourced schools, whether your family will live in a community with clean land, air, and water, or close to healthcare facilities, banks, and grocery stores. Where you live determines whether you will have internet access in your home and can impact how long you will live. Fair housing organizations fight to clean up and revitalize all communities so children can thrive. These groups fight illegal discrimination in housing. Fair housing is not an option. It's a vital right and we all must do our part to make it a reality.
Lisa supported: Seniors, Veterans, Domestic Survivors Could Lose Housing Protections — Contact Congress!!I care because the elderly, and disabled need affordable housing. Everyone should be able to live in a decent home they feel safe and can have and make beautiful memories. We need our lawmakers to assist us, and I'm hoping that you care enough to show us you care with the support of fair housing act.
Bobbie supported: Seniors, Veterans, Domestic Survivors Could Lose Housing Protections — Contact Congress!!I’m a retired senior citizen, live alone in a Seniors only apartment building, we are subsidized by HUD with rent reduction. I have only Social Security as an income and this is one if very few places I can afford to live. It’s still not easy, cost of everything rising. America needs representatives who are responsive and committed to the needs of the people.
Gary supported: Seniors, Veterans, Domestic Survivors Could Lose Housing Protections — Contact Congress!!I survived traumatic abuse in childhood, adolescent and domestic psychological and violent physical abuse in young adult life and narcissistic manipulative abuse into middle age. I'm glad I never married or divorced or had any children. I have studied and researched how my childhood family relationships influenced why I was so vulnerable with the boyfriends I spent years with that were never in my best interests and were mostly unsuccessful relationships. I am still happily single and have been uninterested in relationships with men other than as friends or neighbors for over 15 years. However, I have not escaped egregious abuse that I have been the target victim of an uncontrollable raging bully landlord who has retaliated against me, essentially stealing 15 years of my late middle age life that catastrophically affected every aspect of my life abusing state and federal and civil rights laws against disabling discrimination. Finally I have the determination to sue the landlord and the negligent corporation that ignored complaints from residents about gross mismanagement and federal funding embezzlement patterns of practice. I need federal civil rights justice for the 15 years of retaliation, 15 times denied disability rights and accommodations. I must get the justice I derserve this year or else i will have never experienced living my own life without sociopathic authoritative abuse as a victim of targeted revenge for something so trivial no reasonable person would give it a half second if thought let alone make it too compelling to let it go and find it personally necessary to give an innocent person targeted raging revenge and make it a life sentence of victimhood of his narcissistic wrath of revenge. He has just been fired after 25 years of employment with 13 years of suspected embezzlement and I have 10 witnesses who will testify under oath that I have been the landlord's victim of recenge for as long all the 15 years I have lived here. If you do not reject the proposed budget cuts and gutting the essential FHIP enforcement of the worst discriminatory violators abusing vulnerable people like women, minorities with children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities from living in decent safe and sanitary housing without abusive and bad landlord disruption to live their kives in peace with reliablly fair maintenance and repairs in affordable housing. You're not going to be in elected office ever again after letting Trump get away with corruption since his first term. Now you don't stand any chance for re-election. Maybe you should retire and go on a scavenger hunt and look for what was your soul
