As the election nears to a boiling point there's much to be done to make sure that every single eligible person who can vote does so. Unfortunately, many people, including veterans, are not being given the opportunity to register to vote. Yes, this is crazy as these people have already proudly served our country and given more sacrifice for it than most of us. So, why is the Veterans Administration not allowing veterans at nursing homes and hospitals allowing people to be registered to vote? The US House of Representatives knew this policy was nonsense and passed legislation to undo the VA policy. However, the US Senate needs to do the same.Please take a minute to tell your senators to support veterans right to vote today-timing is running out before people can register to vote.
