Tomorrow, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on the Injured and Amputee Veterans Bill of Rights, which has been attached to HR 5953, the Women Veterans Bill of Rights. We need you to tell your Representative to pass a landmark bill that will help injured and amputee veterans across the nation.

Take action NOW! You have tonight and tomorrow morning to urge your Representative to vote FOR H.R. 5953. Contact your Representative by calling the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 225-3121.

Tell your Representative that the Injured and Amputee Bill of Rights:

  • Would help injured and amputee veterans get the prosthetic and orthotic care they need to be healthy, functional, independent and employed;
  • Would make access to high quality prosthetic and orthotic care more consistent throughout the country; and
  • Does not cost a dime and simply informs veterans of their rights so they can be empowered to get the care they need.

The bill is widely supported by veterans service organizations as well as over 35 national disability organizations, including United Spinal’s VetsFirst Program.
