MOAA Council and Chapter Presidents from all 50 states, together with members of the national Board of Directors and headquarters staff, plus members of MOAA’s active duty, Guard, Reserve, spouse and auxiliary advisory committees will "storm" Capitol Hill on April 9, and visit nearly all 535 representatives and senators in support of key legislative priorities.
This year, the "Hill-stormers" will meet with their legislators, discuss the issues, provide fact sheets and brochures, and ask them to:
- Sustain military pay and benefits and avoid repeating past mistakes that destabilized the all-volunteer force;
- Reject disproportional TRICARE fee increases which shift costs onto beneficiaries while reducing access;
- Eliminate catastrophic sequestration cuts which threaten national security;
- And address remaining inequities for disabled retirees, survivors, and guard and reserve personnel.
Learn more about this year's Storming the Hill event, and help our efforts by sending your legislators aMOAA-suggested message on these critical issues. |
