Somehow, someway ... Donald Trump just got a whole lot worse for veterans. Here's a headline from today's Wall Street Journal:
GOP front-runner would likely push VA toward privatization"
Every major veterans group opposes turning over veterans to for-profit health care companies and making them fight for their earned benefits. It's not stretch to say that when you take Donald Trump's position on veterans' care hand-in-hand with his desire to send more troops to the Middle East to fight in Iraq and Syria, that he is anti-veteran. In fact, Trump is maybe the most anti-veteran candidate in quite some time.
And if there's one group who can succeed in stopping Donald Trump where others have not, it's veterans. At VoteVets, we've been preparing for this moment for some time now. All we need is you to stand with us:
Contribute to VoteVets to help elevate the voices of veterans in the campaign to keep Donald Trump out of the White House in 2016.
The problem with Donald Trump -- as it is with regards to most other issues -- is his ignorance on the issue of veterans' health care. He does not seem to know or care that many times veterans require specialized care for things like PTSD or brain injury that private hospitals are not equipped to provide. He doesn't get that, while there should always be evolution at the VA, most veterans actually like their care! And private studies have found it to be as good or often better than private care.
But we'll make sure he gets that message loud and clear by the time we're done with him this fall. That's why your contribution is so important.
All my best,
