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).
