Protecting Pay for Service Members
Posted: Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Military families and victims of natural disasters — like Colorado's devastating floods — shouldn't suffer if Washington gridlock and partisan stalemates lead to a government shutdown. That's why I introduced the bipartisan Military Pay Protection Act with my colleague Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) to ensure that our men and women in uniform and the civilian personnel who support them on the battlefield and during disaster-recovery efforts do not suffer if Congress is unable or unwilling to pay its bills. I refuse to allow our military families and victims of natural disasters to be used as political leverage by Beltway politicians.
If you have further questions about this or any other issue, please contact me with your concerns.
