Call to Action to Support Filipino War Veterans Legislation

H/T ImmigrationProf

The House of Representatives will be adjourning for its August recess in a few weeks. If the Veterans Benefits Enhancement Act S. 1315 (which contains provisions to restore US veterans status to Filipino WWII veterans) is not brought to the House floor for a vote soon, it will become increasingly more difficult to bring it to floor vote after Congress resumes in September. We could be forced to wait until a new Congress convenes in 2009, and START ALL OVER AGAIN. While we have been very successful in recent weeks to confirm 40 more YES votes from the House of Representatives, WE NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK THIS WEEK FOR WHAT MAY BE OUR LAST PUSH.
