160,000 Homeless Military Veterans?
How do decision makers in
Washington DC look in the mirror?
|
|
 |
Local 361 (Brooklyn, NY) Business
Manager/FS-T
Dick OKane
is a tireless advocate of legislation designed to
assist homeless military Veterans.
BILL
#HR5823 (HOMELESS VETERANS ASSISTANCE FUND) is
intended to incorporate a check-off box on the 1040 Federal Income
Tax Form to assist these men and women upon their return from
fighting for our country.
I was shocked when Dick told me there are almost 160,000 HOMELESS
Veterans across the United States. This is a national disgrace! Last
year, 141.5 million people filed taxes. 100% adherence to a
three-dollar ($3) check-off could yield almost $500M to assist these
Veterans (NOTE: You cant be buying bumper stickers for your
cars proclaiming you Support our Troops and then ignore
a $3 PER YEAR pledge!). Nothing is going to happen,
however, if you do not get your local congressional
representative on board behind this legislation.
(NOTE:
Local 7s
Steve Lynch, a Massachusetts
Congressman,
is co-sponsoring this legislation.)
Many of you already know who your Congressional Representative is
and we need you to begin contacting them (in whatever manner you
wish) and INSIST that they
SUPPORT
HR5823 - Homeless Veterans Assistance Fund.
These HOMELESS Veterans are counting on US!
BELOW is an online link to find YOUR congressional representative
(All you need to know is your ZIP CODE and 4-digit extension)...
Do not delay!
Tell them to
Support HR5823-The
Homeless Veterans Assistance Fund
