-        Summer Storm kicks off 6 August and will run through 11 September

-        Website: www.MOAA.org/SummerStorm will be up on 6 August

-        Involves in-person or virtual visits with Senators… can also be achieved by letters, emails, and phone calls

-        Focus is on the House Language for Sections 715 and 716, halting MTF restructuring and billet reductions – this will all be clearly articulated in a storming factsheet available on our microsite when it is launched

-        Chapters and Councils can serve as rally points for visits or call-in efforts – use this issue to recruit prospects who may be interested in defending their healthcare

-        We will be collecting whatever information you want to share as noted above, but please know this effort won’t have the same oversight as our Virtual Storm in May

-        Bottom Line Messages to the Senate:

o   “Ensure the NDAA, out of the Conference Committee, includes the House language in Sections 715 and 716”

o   “Ensure the NDAA is signed into law”

 

We have been fighting the essence of these reductions for over a year… and we are close to getting the traction we need to halt the reductions and install a Congressional oversight function to ensure any changes or reductions are not a detriment to you or any other beneficiary.

Thank you for your leadership.
