Supporting those that stand for our veterans!It's Time to Take a StandToday there are only 96 members of Congress that are veterans, this number has steadily declined since 1970. The American Alliance for Military Veterans is working to change this by helping to elect more veterans to Congress. The political organization also works to advocate for and advance legislation through Congress that helps and assists our veterans.

Why it is important to elect military veterans to Congress...How legislation becomes law..Laws and funding are not just presented to Congress, voted on, and signed by the president. Most bills take years to develop and make its way through Congress, that is why it is important for you to help support the elected officials and proposed legislation that places our nation's veterans first! Without your support much needed legislation may not make it through the arduous journey needed to become law!

Veteran's Issues That We Are Actively Promoting
- Expanding the VA Choices Program to include more emergency and urgent care centers and emergency transportation. Veterans should not have to worry about coverage when seeking needed medical care.
- We support legislation to remove co-payments on preventive prescriptions prescribed through the VA Healthcare System. This is required of insurance companies outside the VA, and would eventually save the VA Healthcare System funds.
- With the steady increase in the cost of getting a college education, we support increased funding for the GI Bill and the VA Co-op training program. Veterans often have trouble transitioning from their time in the military, these programs assist in a better transition into society.
- Congress should mandate that HUD work with all other governmental departments to increase affordable housing for our nation’s veterans. No veteran should be without a place to call home!
- We are pushing Congress for more earmarked funding for VHA to expand and improve its’ home care programs. Studies have shown that more in home care is beneficial to the veteran and is more cost effective to the VHA as well.
Thank you for supporting our organization. We are a national political organization, not a charity. To reach our goals we need your help and support. A large portion of the donations given to our organization are used to help offset the costs associated with fundraising.
