Have Veterans Groups Reacted To The Repugs Voter Suppression Tactics In The States?.....

I would think that veterans that served in our military and fought in wars would be up in arms against the Repugs attempts at modifying voting in the States and making it harder - instead of easier - for Americans to vote.

Veterans are the champions of justice and risk their lives for Americans so that we can have a Democracy and the right to vote. One would think that Veterans would be very vocal and opposed to the Repugs messing with that right.

My significant other is beside herself. Her brother died in Viet Nam fighting for this country and she is just appalled watching what the Repugs are doing. They are dishonoring all those that died fighting for their country and it's a slap in the face to all those that are serving in the military currently.

Why isn't there more of a push back from Veterans Groups, the Military and their families?

If not then I still think the voting rights bill will pass. We still have over a year to get it done. Remember we were able to change voting procedures in basically 9 months in 2020. It can be done.
