The new Congress was sworn in just two days ago, and we already have a good indication of what to expect from the new batch of Tea Party Representatives and Senators.

Los Angeles Times: “As Republicans take control Tuesday of both chambers of Congress for the first time in eight years, party leaders hope to move quickly to confront President Obama and showcase their conservative ideology, including austere budget cuts and dismantling government regulation.”

New York Times: “On immigration, House Republican officials say they expect to approve a Department of Homeland Security spending measure before the end of January that would deny money to carry out Mr. Obama’s action to ease the threat of deportation for millions of undocumented immigrants.”

These priorities are not America’s priorities.

As veterans, military family members, and their supporters, we have a crucial voice on these issues, and an obligation to make it heard. Let us know what you hope the 114th Congress will work on.

Thanks for sounding off.

All the best,

Jon Soltz
