Gunny: Reach Out And Touch Someone … Your Senator

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been on the front lines drumming up support for MarineCause and our effort to give the Marine Corps equal recognition with the Navy.

HR 24 has virtually swept the House — we now have 395 cosponsors. But, believe it or not, there is still some opposition in the Senate for S. 504, and that is unacceptable. Which is why I’m enlisting your help.

Here are six key senators on the Senate Armed Services Committee, the part of Congress the bill will likely have to go through:

Carl Levin of Michigan (202.224.6221)
John McCain of Arizona (202.224.2235)
Jim Webb of Virginia (202) 224.4024)
Saxby Chambliss of Georgia (202.224.3521)
Bill Nelson of Florida (202.224.5274)
George LeMieux of Florida (202.224.3041)

Why don’t you reach out and let them know what you think?

In the meantime, stay tuned for my interviews with The Hill and other fine publications, an appearance on Veterans Radio, and my upcoming op-ed, which will be published soon in a major newspaper.

Semper Fi.
