Maybe We The People along with Veterans – old and young – from all branches of the military may want to take a stand against what Kamala Harris said about veterans’ benefits recently. She is quoted as saying the following: “The United States government cannot continue to pay for every need of what has become a special class of citizen.  Veterans are equal to us, not better than us. Veterans Affairs coddles them. It creates a dependency upon us which is not doing these former soldiers any good. They need to learn to live on their own two feet and be responsible adults. The easiest way to assist them on this journey is to cut them off. Within these next four years, we will be shuttering the VA, taking away soldier welfare.  The money saved will go to better use in assisting refugee families. These poor folks seek asylum with us and need a boost and it is our responsibility as a nation to provide it. So here’s a message to the soldier boys. Get a job.”

The picture of Ms. Harris accompanies the message to our soldier boys: the nonverbal message shows her with a facial expression of “too bad, fellows” and with both hands lifted up, palms upward as saying “this is going to happen because it needs to happen”.

Here is our chance to push back against this proposed agenda to disadvantage those who voluntarily gave their lives, their fortunes, their honor to make this nation a place where “refugee” could come legally for a new beginning. Call your legislators, elected officials and military organizations to unite in this pushback effort now.
