This is what the national momentum behind H.Res. 1247 looks like right now. 🇺🇸
2 down. 216 to go.
Let’s hope that when the House returns Monday, more states start turning gold.
The mission continues.

The fight for the Major Richard Star Act is entering a critical phase in both the House and Senate. In the House, H. Res. 1247 has officially been filed in the Rules Committee by Rep. Mark Takano and Rep. Raul Ruiz. This resolution would force consideration of the Major Richard Star Act (H.R. 2102) and bypass continued delays despite overwhelming bipartisan support. Under House rules, the resolution will sit in committee for 7 legislative days before Members can begin signing the discharge petition — expected around May 18th. Once the petition reaches 218 signatures, it forces a full up-or-down vote in the House within 7 legislative days. If passed, the resolution also requires the House Clerk to transmit the bill to the Senate within 3 calendar days, preventing further procedural delays. Even more significant — the full legislative text of H. Res. 1247 has now been released. This updated version of the Major Richard Star Act would take effect the FIRST MONTH after being signed into law by the President. Momentum is already building. Three Representatives have publicly committed to signing the discharge petition on Day 1: • Rep. Joe Courtney • Rep. Hank Johnson • Rep. Grace Meng With 323 cosponsors already supporting the Major Richard Star Act in the House, there is absolutely no reason this petition should take more than a few days to reach 218 signatures. For Members of Congress who cosponsored this legislation: Now is the time for action. Cosponsorship statements are appreciated — but signing the discharge petition is action. Veterans are watching, and with midterm elections approaching, accountability matters. Meanwhile, momentum is rapidly increasing in the Senate as well. On April 15th, Senator Richard Blumenthal committed publicly that he would continue attaching the Major Richard Star Act to legislative vehicles until it passes and stated he would once again go to the Senate floor to seek unanimous consent for passage. This week, Senator Blumenthal directly questioned Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on whether the Department of Defense supported the Major Richard Star Act. Secretary Hegseth stated live before the Senate that he DOES support the legislation. Then yesterday, Senator Blumenthal held another press conference alongside the VFW and publicly declared: “I will move again for a vote on this critical legislation that removes the wounded veteran tax imposed on brave combat-injured veterans.” The time is NOW for veterans, military families, and the American public to contact their Senators and Representatives and urge them to support these efforts. The National Defense Committee and a large coalition of affected veterans are planning to return to Capitol Hill on May 20th to push Congress to finally move this legislation forward. This fight has gone on for far too many years. Major Richard Star — the combat wounded veteran this legislation was named after — sadly will never see its passage. He passed away on February 13, 2021 after dedicating years of his life fighting for this very cause. Veterans Appreciation Month must mean more than words. 218 signatures by Memorial Day. #MajorRichardStarAct #NoMoreDelays

Big thanks to @SenGallego for hosting yesterday’s press conference and rally in support of the #MajorRichardStarAct.
His continued dedication to veterans helps keep the focus where it belongs: ensuring those who served receive the benefits they’ve earned.
Also grateful to @WWP Warrior Advocate Leader Jessica Roza, who participated in Q&A at the event, for her ongoing advocacy for veterans in Arizona and across the country!

Thank you for continuing to stand with our veterans, Representative Mace.
As a cosponsor of the #MajorRichardStarAct and a member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, your leadership matters.
Lead the way for South Carolina by cosponsoring H.Res. 1247 and help bring this to a vote for the 54,000 combat-injured veterans still waiting.

Does this mean we can count on you @RepVanOrden to sign the discharge petition on Day 1? #MajorRichardStarAct #NoMoreDelays

$1,000 a month for our wounded warriors helps them pay for rent, gas, and groceries. Veterans served this country and they earned their benefits.

Families like Beatriz's are why I'm in this fight. Together, we'll pass the Major Richard Star Act to ensure combat-disabled veterans receive their full benefits.

@RepLaLota Lets hope they can finally come together and pass the #MajorRichardStarAct

BIG WIN for our Veterans.
Last week, the House Appropriations Committee passed the Military Construction and VA Appropriations Bill — UNANIMOUSLY, 58 to 0.
In a divided Congress, caring for those who defended our nation is a priority we can ALL come together on.
Two weeks down. Eight more to go. 💪

.@CheyenneChamber: "The Death Tax exemption was a huge thing."
Republicans made the Death Tax much more favorable so that people could keep their small businesses, their farms, and their ranches in the family.
