Override Governor Cuomo's Veto of the Veteran's Equality Act - Bill Number: S7839/A6974
Why is this important?
The Military Service Buyback Bill (AKA 'Veterans Equality Act'), was overwhelmingly supported by 57 (of 57) NYS Senators and 133 (of 134) NYS Assembly Members over the Summer (June/July 2014). It waited months to be called for by Governor Cuomo (before election day) only to be promptly vetoed AFTER the election and notably right BEFORE Veterans Day. This bill would provide all Veterans the equality they deserve and is in need of a two-thirds vote by the Assembly and Senate in order to have Governor Cuomo's veto overridden. Let's show Governor Cuomo that Veterans and their families are important and that we will not allow him to make fools of them by toying with their votes or underestimating their ability to enact change in spite of him. They fought and continue to fight for our freedom, let's fight for their equality! Thank you!
