HR1585 will help parents, sisters, brothers, and wives send care packages to our troops at no postage cost. The bill needs to be ammended by the senate. Right now they want to pass the bill for one care package at $9 every 2 months for free. Hello!!! I send 10 packages a week. Next to a rifle the soldiers best friend is the postman. My son is over there and is asking for sox, underware, antibacterial wipes and snacks. What is the government doing Please sign this petition to make our senators ammend and pass this bill.

i honestly cant believe how much this has taken off and seeing everyone get behind our troops feels incredible. this momentum shows how many of us know the current plan just isnt enough for those serving overseas.

im still reading every single message you guys post and honestly hearing your stories about your own kids serving makes me feel a lot less alone. im keeping the pressure on these senators because one package every few months just isnt enough to keep our troops comfortable.

seriously? 9 dollars is nothing. these soldiers are doing everything for us the least they can do is cover the mail costs!

100% agree. My brother is constantly asking for stuff that he can't get over there. The postage adds up so fast

Ridiculous. We send our kids over there to fight but wont even cover the cost of a box of socks. Get it together senate

My husband is deployed too and $9 every two months is a joke. They need so much more than that.

Support our troops for real, not just with bumper stickers. Fix this now.
