VETERANS INITIATIVE

Thank you for being such a generous supporter of Veterans Crisis Relief Fund PAC, also known as American Coalition for Crisis Relief PAC, which is a non-party independent expenditure-only group (not a charity) established under Section 527 of the federal tax code. Our hope is to help elect responsible public officials and educate Members of Congress as well as the public about issues related to Veterans in need.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that PTSD afflicts almost 31 percent of Vietnam veterans. According to the RAND Center for Military Health Policy Research 20 percent of the vets who served in either Iraq or Afghanistan suffer from either major depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. 19.5 percent of vets in these two categories have experienced a traumatic brain injury.

Fighting for the mental health of our Veterans should be something we all care about... There are bills out there that are meant to do just that and we will do everything we can to support the election of leaders who will fight for those bills and our Veterans in need. Bill S.606 in the Senate is the “Reach Every Veteran in Crisis Act” which aims to improve oversight and evaluation of the mental health and suicide prevention media outreach campaigns of the Department of Veterans Affairs, among other purposes.
 

Bill H.R. 2340 in the House of Representatives is the “Fostering Intergovernmental Health Transparency in Veteran
Suicides Act” or “FIGHT Veteran Suicides Act”. It directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide Congress notice of
any suicide or attempted suicide of a veteran in a Department of Veterans Affairs facility, among other purposes.
 

Bill H.R. 1997 in the House of Representatives is the “Veterans Posttraumatic Growth Act”. It directs the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs to conduct a pilot program on posttraumatic growth, among other purposes.
 

These bills and many others are supported by the public officials we help elect. We have to fight for our Veterans
and their mental health...
 

With the support of you and thousands of other like-minded concerned citizens, we can help elect officials who support these programs through legislation and the election of leaders who support people in need. While it is important to acknowledge that a large portion of the contributions received is allocated for fundraising expenses, please know that your involvement is immensely valuable. Please see reverse side for important campaign and financial transparency information.

 

Thank you for Your Support!!
