Please send your U.S. Representative a message to stop the politics and to honor the country’s obligations to those who have protected and sacrificed for it. You can check their vote by going to WWW.CAPWIZ.COM/MOAA/MEGAVOTE.

Contact your congressional representative and senators by going to the MOAA website and give them a clear message (http://capwiz.com/moaa/dbq/officials/) .

The important thing is to contact them and stop this before it damages the very structure and system that ensures the safety of our nation and our freedoms.  

You can also use MOAA’s toll-free Capitol Hill hotline, 1-866-272-6622 and ask the Capitol operator to connect you with the Representative or Senator’s office.  

You can gripe and complain but if you do not get involved, then our country’s security and future is in dire straits.

Our Country’s Security is in Serious Jeporady!

( summarized from MOAA Legislative Updates & Affiliates)

Decisions are about to be made that will affect the very welfare of our country.  Once again, the military retirement system is coming under the scrutiny of budgeters and deficit reduction task forces. Congress has mandated a joint committee that must report cuttings by November and the military is facing cuts all across the board, active duty, reserves, and retired.  "Everything is on the table" for budget cuts.  Cutting the military seems so easy for those who never served.  Our service is not the same as civilian service, even policemen and firemen.  They are not sent overseas for extended time away from their families nor moved every 3-4 years, uprooted from home, schools, friends, etc.  Are you willing to do something about it?

Tasked by President Obama with finding over $400 billion dollars in savings over the next 10-12 years , the DoD is not on our side.

Several members of Congress have criticized the "one-size-fits-all" 20-year retirement structure and want to civilianize it with 401k and retirement pay not starting until around 60 years.
