“There is nothing more important than ensuring our veterans and their families can enjoy a safe and healthy life after their service to our country”. Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK)
~
On Thursday, 29 September, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed bill H.R.8888 – Food Security for All Veterans Act. Sponsored by Rep. Mary Peltola, Democrat from Alaska, the bill passed by a 376-49 vote.
The bill would establish the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Food Security; its purpose is to help veterans facing food insecurity and lack of nutrition, including helping such veterans with information about food stamps and other related programs.
No one should be surprised that every vote against the bill, every single one of the 49 nays, came from Republicans. Most of them never served a day in America’s Armed Forces – but some of them are veterans – all of whom go to bed each night with full stomachs on the public’s dime.
