I’m so grateful for the tremendous amount of support and guidance I’ve received since starting VoteVets almost eight years ago. Leaders like General (Ret.) Clark, Major General (Ret.) Eaton, and so many others have helped grow this organization into what it is today.

But you, have played such an important role in our evolution as well. Our organizational strength comes from the 400,000+ veterans, military family members, and VoteVets’ supporters fighting for veterans at home and abroad.

As we continue our work with a new Congress and opportunities to elect so many great, progressive veteran leaders in 2016, I hope you’ll consider becoming a sustaining member of VoteVets with your $10 contribution today. Your contribution helps us plan and budget for the long-term, secure in the knowledge we’ll have the resources we need to fight back against the Tea Party fringe hell-bent on creating more war, and less jobs.

Thanks for being such an important part of VoteVets.

All my best,

Jon Soltz Iraq War Veteran and Chairman
