Support Our Vets - Watch this Ad

Paul Riekoff and the Iraq Afghanistan Veterans of America reminds us that we have an obligation to remind our elected officials that they have an obligation to ensure that America honors and cherishes her veterans!

Dear IAVA Supporter,

This past week, IAVA Supporters stepped up in a big way. We asked for your help in getting our new television ad on the air, and thanks to you, it started running on national networks this morning. To all of you who chipped in - thank you.

The ad, titled 'Demand Action,' calls on both Congress and the President to get the overdue budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs approved. 'Demand Action' directs people to IAVAAction.org, where they can add their name to a growing list of Americans who are demanding immediate action.

Click here to watch the ad and put your name on the statement.

Over the next several days, the ad will be running in major national markets, including Washington, DC, where lawmakers can see it for themselves. This will be a huge step towards shifting the debate and getting our veterans the care they need.

But there's more work to do. Let Washington know that you're standing with our veterans. Sign the statement, and tell five people to do the same.

Ten days have passed since Congress missed the deadline for passing the VA budget, and our veterans are still waiting. Now that the ad is running, Congress will be forced to focus once again on the issue of VA funding.

Your continued support is essential for bringing these issues to the forefront. Thanks to you, we're going to get this message across loud and clear.

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

Paul Rieckhoff
Iraq Veteran
Executive Director
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
