I have great news! Earlier today, The House once again canceled a vote on the Republican version of the Major Richard Star Act, known as the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, or as I call it, the “Taking Benefits Away from Veterans Act.”

The pressure is working! We're now at 215 of the 218 signatures needed for the discharge petition I filed with Ranking Member @repmarktakano to force a vote on my original bill. We need just 3 more signatures, and I'll keep urging others in Congress to sign on.

🛑 S.T.O.P.P. 🛑 Stop Taxing Our Paycheck/Property. Petition to the Members of Congress. We, the undersigned California residents, respectfully urge you to provide meaningful tax relief by introducing and supporting legislation to end state income taxes on workers’ paychecks and eliminate property taxes on owner-occupied homes. California’s high cost of living has placed an enormous financial burden on working families, retirees, and homeowners. We believe hardworking Californians should be able to keep more of what they earn and enjoy the security of owning a home without the ongoing burden of property taxes. We ask you to put the financial well-being of your constituents first by pursuing responsible tax reform that makes California more affordable and strengthens families, homeownership, and economic opportunity. #stopp

So you’re just not going to address the vote your constituents are dragging you over? Hoping it just goes away? It won’t Raul. Man up and face the music and defend voting against your constituents to them. They deserve answers. When is your next town hall btw? Never?

Why do you keep supporting a genocide? Why didn’t you have a backbone to stop funding killing babies, children, innocent people because Israel can never hear “NO”? Why does Israel have socialized universal healthcare for their people and we can’t, Dr. Ruiz? Seems like if they have money for that, they can pay their own tab on leveling hospitals, schools, homes and killing everyone in their way, right? It’s truly a disgrace and you really should be embarrassed.

Republicans HATE veterans, they love sending the Military into harms way, while taking away veterans benefits. Thank you for fighting for us Veterans congressman. It’s greatly appreciated.
