Legislative: Be An Effective Messenger

2017-2018 National Legislative Ambassador

Be an Effective Messenger

As advocates for issues and legislation that affect our veterans, active-duty service members and their families, we need to be effective messengers. We can better mobilize our nearly a half million VFW Auxiliary members and their friends, relatives, acquaintances, coworkers and other contacts. Your connections will assist us to reach an even larger audience with our message of the VFW’s legislative priorities.

WHO:

The VFW and its Auxiliary are two organizations with one mission, purpose and goal – to HELP VETERANS!
The Auxiliary is an organization of nearly a half million members.
Our members provide “Unwavering Support for Uncommon Heroes”® to improve the lives of veterans, active-duty service members, their families and our communities.
WHAT:

We advocate for our veterans, active-duty service members and their families.
We are a voice for 22 million veterans on Capitol Hill.
Everything we do is with the VFW’s Priority Goals and veterans’ well-being in mind.
HOW:

Through

Team Work
Collaboration
Leveraging Best Practices
Networking
WHY:

Our nation made a promise to those who serve and we fight to ensure that promise is kept.
We are a nation that is still at war and failure is not an option!
The more connections we have and the better we are at conveying our message, the stronger and more successful our voices will be on Capitol Hill. We CAN AND DO make a difference in maintaining and improving the quality of life of our veterans, service members, and their families.

Contact your legislators by email, letters or phone calls to:
Reject Section 707 of Senate Bill # 1519, which would increase TRICARE enrollment fees for current beneficiaries.
Reject Section 706 of Senate Bill # 1519, which would not only increase TRICARE pharmacy copayments for retirees in order to generate DOD savings to pay for readiness improvements, but would also tie any future fee increases to the national health expenditure index, instead of the traditional cost-of-living adjustment.
Help us achieve our legislative program goals:
Let your voices be heard.
Respond to VFW Action Alerts as soon as you receive them.
Thanks for all you have done and continue to do for our veterans. Every day is Veterans Day!

To all my Auxiliary Brothers/Sisters. Those of you that have became new members or renewed your dues, we truly appreciate your support of our Veterans. Please know that your membership card will be coming from National since the new system that was put into place recently. They are having a bit of a snag with the system so please be patient as they work on mailing your cards. Per email from National they are looking at about 6 weeks.

Please know that you can go to VFWAuxiliary.org and create a login. From there you can access your membership card and download to your phone and/or print. This will suffice as your card until National sends one out to you. You will need to know your member number in order to create a login. If you do not have that, contact your treasurer of your Auxiliary and she can provide you with your number.

This would also be a good time to contact your treasurer and pay your 2018 dues if you have not done so.

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Carol Newberg
District 6 President.

The VFW Auxiliary will be making these for patients with advanced dementia. If you have any shirts, belts, or shorts with cargo pockets you are doing away with, we would greatly appreciate you donating to our cause. You can contact me for pick up. Many of these patients are veterans or family member of a veteran.
