Tell Steve LaTourette to Stop Abandoning Our Vets

The petition

We received word last week from a soldier overseas that the Department of Defense has been billing wounded soldiers – asking them to refund their enlistment bonuses if their injury
prevents them from completing their full term.

You don’t have to have served your country to be offended by a policy like this. When a soldier is injured in the line of duty we are all wounded. This is an insult.

A bipartisan bill (H.R. 3793), sponsored by Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.) with 219 cosponsors, would mandate the practice be terminated immediately.

But Ohio Rep. Steve LaTourette, who has jumped at nearly every opportunity to vote against accountability in Iraq, has failed to cosponsor this bill that is so crucial to the men and women serving their country.

Tell Rep. LaTourette to stop abandoning our veterans and support this important legislation.
