VA Says NO to Veterans Needing Help to Vote

The St. Petersburg Times has reported that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said in late May that it would stop giving assistance to vets who need help in registering to vote. Read more at "VA Rejects Directive to Help Vets Register to Vote".

For 14 years, there has been a presidential directive that has required the VA to help our vets, but this year VA Secretary Peake has said, "No."

More information is available at the website of "Veterans for Common Sense": VA FlipFlops, Bans Registration Drives for Veterans at VA Hospitals and Nursing Homes.
