Blumenthal asks for a middle ground - a vote on the passage of this Act before the end of the year. #MajorRichardStarAct #Vets #Veterans VA Asks for Unanimous Consent for a time to vote requiring 60 Yeas to pass. Mississippi jerk objects again.

This jerk, a Vet himself, calls it a double benefit and objects to wounded Veterans a small monthly award - Blumenthal responds explaining that it is *not* double-dipping & that not all Veterans are eligible because it is for combat related injuries that forced early retirement. #MajorRichardStarAct

Would like to urge people to reach out to their congresscritter to support the Major Richard Star Act.
This ends the dollar for dollar reduction in retirement pay if you get VA disability.
These should be two separate payments.

Senator Tester got the PACT Act done two years ago when nobody said he could. Why? Because it was the # 1 priority for Veterans and their families. We need to do the same with Senator Tester's Major Richard Star Act—the top legislative issue for veterans and VSOs. Our combat-injured Vets can't wait. #MTPol #JonTester @JonTester #Montana #PACTAct #MajorRichardStarAct #Veterans #VeteransHealthcare
