VETERAN
LEGISLATION STATUS:
Support of
these bills through cosponsorship by other legislators
is critical if they are ever going to move through the
legislative process for a floor vote to become law. A
good indication on that likelihood is the number of
cosponsors who have signed onto the bill. Any number of
members may cosponsor a bill in the House or Senate. At
http://thomas.loc.gov you can review a copy of each
bill’s content, determine its current status, the
committee it has been assigned to, and if your
legislator is a sponsor or cosponsor of it. To
determine what bills, amendments your representative has
sponsored, cosponsored, or dropped sponsorship on refer
to
http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d111/sponlst.html. The
key to increasing cosponsorship on veteran related bills
and subsequent passage into law is letting our
representatives know of veteran’s feelings on issues.
You can reach their Washington office via the Capital
Operator direct at (866) 272-6622, (800) 828-0498, or
(866) 340-9281 to express your views. Otherwise, you can
go to
http://thomas.loc.gov or
http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ to locate on your
representative and his/her phone number, mailing
address, or email/website to communicate with a message
or letter of your own making. Refer to
http://www.thecapitol.net/FAQ/cong_schedule.html
for dates that you can access your
representatives on their home turf. |
