Senate to Vote on GI Bill of Rights Tomorrow

The GI Bill of Rights for the 21st Century (S.22) is expected to be on the  Senate floor this week, and America's veterans need your help. S. 22 would  make sure that veterans who served on active duty after September 11, 2001  have education benefits that measure up to the needs of today’s veterans.


 Since the first GI Bill was signed in 1944 benefits have been scaled back  while tuition has skyrocketed. Currently, it covers only 60-70% of the  average costs of a four year education at a public college. The House of  Representatives has already passed similar legislation, so please call the  US Capitol at (202) 224-3121 and urge your Senators to support our veterans  by passing the GI Bill of Rights for the 21st Century (S.22).
