Tell Republicans to stop the gimmicks -- veterans don't just rely on one or two parts of the government being funded. Congress needs to re-open the entire government.
Why is this important?
Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner said that Republicans were locked in an "epic battle" to keep the government shutdown going.
As a World War II veteran, I fought in six epic battles. I helped fight the Nazis in the North African seas, and took part in operations that liberated Italy and the South of France, from Germany.
The Tea Party Shutdown is not an epic battle -- it is bad governance.
Americans and veterans like me depend on our entire government being open.
I filmed a television ad with VoteVets, and it's on the air. I hope you'll watch it and sign my petition today. - Redge Ranyard, WWII Veteran.
