Last week, Paul remarked that “we’re busy doing our work ,” here in the House. That remains true this week, with a focus on bipartisan bills to help our veterans. These initiatives may not garner a lot of attention in the press, which is why our office wanted to contact you directly.  
Consider the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act: Did you know the VA estimates that it will take approximately five years to resolve the backlog of appeals that are currently pending? That’s nearly 500,000 appeals—that’s too many veterans waiting far too long for resolution. Veterans who have a disabling condition as a result of their service to our country should not have to deal with a fundamentally broken system. 
The Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act would create three “lanes” for veterans’ appeals, a marked improvement over the current system. By streamlining the process, the VA can give veterans the certainty they deserve. 
And this bill isn’t the only one: To find out more about all seven bills the House will be considering this week, click here . 
One more thing: Paul’s office has assisted nearly 3,000 veterans with their issues at the VA. While we cannot guarantee a favorable outcome, our office can assist veterans with VA claims and the appeals process, obtaining their military records and medals, or questions concerning eligibility for benefits provided by VA.

TP: Failed Democrat

-

Dear Patriot, Here is this week’s Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Report: •   Failed Democrat Presidential candidate  Howard Dean  claims that outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid saved the U.S. Constitution from the “crack pot wing and Speaker Boehner’s Tea Party Caucus” by refusing to even allow a debate on 400 different bills passed by the House of Representatives last year. It seems the American people had a different view on Election Day. More on this nuttiness here:  http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/11/14/Dean-Harry-Reid-Saved-The-Constitution-From-The-Crackpot-Tea-Party •   The hosts of MSNBC’s pro-big government show  “Morning Joe”  during a discussion of Hillary Clinton’s inevitable Presidential campaign couldn’t come up with a reason the failed former Secretary of State should run for the highest office in the land. “At this moment, beyond ‘it’s her turn, it’s her time,’ there’s not a clear art...

Jimmy: Growing up in Las Vegas

  Robert! Growing up in Las Vegas, I never realized it was such an interesting place to be from. For me, it was normal: I played little league, clarinet, and we were involved in our neighborhood and in our community. I am proud to be a Nevadan. And I’m excited to announce I’ll be back in my hometown of Las Vegas this Friday, November 2nd for a very special GOTV Rally to Protect our Health Care with my friend Jacky Rosen!  Chip in a few dollars before midnight to enter to join us there >> I’m honored to have the chance to help out Jacky’s campaign. Jacky Rosen is on the right side of all the most important issues we’re facing today – including health care. Protecting health care and coverage for pre-existing conditions is deeply personal to me and my family: my son Billy was born with a heart defect. If your baby needs medical care, it shouldn’t matter how much money you make. We need to be sure the people who represent us in Washington understand that, and Dean...

Elizabeth: we can win.

Nine years ago today, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. And for the past nine years, Republicans have done everything they can to try to tear it down. They couldn’t get the votes to repeal it outright. But they’ve chipped away at it, sabotaged it from inside the Trump administration, given giant health insurance companies more wiggle room to leave tricks and traps for people in the fine print, and denied their own constituents live-saving health coverage by refusing to expand Medicaid. Today, Republicans are still trying to strangle the Affordable Care Act in lawsuits and roll back health coverage for tens of millions of Americans. But Democrats are ready to fight back even harder. We’ll protect the Affordable Care Act —  and we’ll make sure everyone gets high-quality, affordable health care with Medicare for All. That’s because health care is a basic human right, and we fight for basic human rights. Let’s make sure everyone is covered. Let’s make sure ...
