Remember that this April 2024 brings the Presidential Preference Primary to our Election Cycles along with the first time the State of Connecticut will have Early Voting beginning March 26th.This primary is important to cast your vote but it also shows your interest in how one vote could actually change the effect of a political outcome. Do your research on the candidate and find a platform in
which you believe.
Every town/city will be looking for volunteers (who get paid a minimal amount) to work part or full days during each early voting day as well as election or primary day. What a better way to show your community involvement than help your local Registrars of Voters. AND don’t get me started-if you are not registered yet, there is still time to apply!

Members,
“The 19 th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution granted the right to vote to women. I hope all
members eligible to vote cast their ballot during this election season. It is very important to
support and continue to speak to elected officials about our mission, bills that support our active
military and veterans’ needs, and always ask for response.
September 3, 2023 lawmakers, Veterans Service Organizations (VSO), and Veterans from
Afghan Female Tactical Platoon (FTP) convened at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
headquarters in Washington, D.C. to discuss the future of the Afghan Adjustment Act. The
Afghan Adjustment Act is supported by the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and
other veterans and military service Organizations, would simultaneously streamline the
immigration process for 150,000 Afghans applying for special immigrants visas and increase
the level of vetting the application undergo. This bill was introduced this year as H. R. 4627 &
S. 2327 has garnered bipartisan support with 43 co-sponsors in the house and 13 in the senate.
