One Moment Can Make a Difference

U.S. Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Hearing on Pending Legislation on Wednesday, May 22, 2019, at 2:30 PM in Russell Senate Office Building SR-418.  Notably absent from this discussion was S. 1195 on the Blue Water Navy.  The legislation has 51 cosponsors, one of whom is Sen. Bob Casey from PA.  Why haven't more senators cosponsored this bill?  Why hasn't it come out of committee to the floor?

We should have a national holiday to honor Haym Solomon, without whom we would not have been able to gain independence from Britain.  All readers are asked to contact their legislators in Washington, DC, to make this happen.
