Action Needed: Dems Demand More Veterans Be Disarmed And The GOP Agrees!

Right now, GOP leadership is negotiating with the Democrats on 9 spending bills to keep the government running. One of those will fund the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Left is demanding that Republicans preserve a decade-old program that has disarmed over 300,000 innocent military veterans without due process... and Republicans are agreeing!

These military veterans answered the call to protect you. Now, they are losing their constitutional rights.

Please, in their time of need, rise up and join the fight to protect them!

Send your FaxBlast to Congress below and DEMAND that they hold the line and defund the VA's disarmament program in the upcoming spending package!

Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

When our military men and women serve overseas, they take a number of steps to make sure their affairs stateside are taken care of. One of these steps is to assign what is known as a "representative payee." Soldiers will give their parents or their significant other permission to manage their affairs. It is a lot easier to have a girlfriend pay the rent than the try to negotiate a wire transfer from the mountains of Afghanistan.

When these soldiers become veterans, they sometimes also choose to let a family member or friend help manage their financial affairs. Sometimes a veteran returns home with physical wounds that make it difficult to deposit checks at the bank or pick up prescriptions. Other times, they just want help making sure the cable bill gets paid on time.

For the past decade, veterans who assigned representative payees found themselves in the crosshairs of a massive disarmament program.

There is a provision in the law that allows for an American to lose his or her 2nd Amendment rights if they are adjudicated "mentally defective." In most cases, this adjudication is supposed to happen in a courtroom where the accused has a chance to defend themself. But there is also a provision in the law that allows for disarmament if someone is unable to manage their own affairs. The VA has been using the assignment of a representative payee as an excuse to disarm hundreds of thousands of veterans.

Not every mental illness rises to the level of disarmament. A veteran grieving over the loss of a loved one or suffering from mild anxiety cannot legally be disarmed. But if he or she signed paperwork to appoint a representative payee, then the VA argues that their mental illness makes them unable to manage their affairs.

It's a gross miscarriage of justice that has led to hundreds of thousands of veterans losing their constitutional right to defend themselves.

Right now, Congressional Leadership is negotiating a "minibus" spending package to fund the government before the Oct. 1 deadline. That includes a bill to fund the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some Democrats are threatening to withhold their vote if this VA disarmament program is shut down. Terrified of losing their seats in the coming election, the GOP has agreed to allow the program to continue.

These veterans answered the call and sacrificed so much to protect all of us. It is absolutely shameful that they are being asked to sacrifice again to protect the establishment's grip on power...

I am writing to demand that you do everything in your power to defund this disarmament program right now! Congress has already passed legislation to prohibit an identical program at the Social Security Administration. President Trump signed it into law.

You took action to protect Social Security beneficiaries from this unconstitutional disarmament. Now it is time to protect our veterans!

If you turn your back on these American heroes, I will turn my back on you...

Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
