- Ask for Priority #1 Vote for the final health care reform bill.
- Ask for Priority #2 Sign a letter to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate and House Defense Appropriations Subcommittees requesting an appropriation of $150 million for the DOD BCRP for FY2011.
How this Voter Guide Measures Members' Support:
Each member receives a checkmark "✓" for action taken, which will be a vote for Priority #1, or a signature on a Dear Colleague letter (in support of the DOD BCRP) for Priority #2. NBCC acknowledges that it is not always possible to accurately reflect a member's leadership simply by awarding a "✓." At times, certain Members of Congress play a greater leadership role based on their position as a member of the leadership, as chairperson, as a member of a relevant committee, or as active champions for our priorities. Therefore, each legislative and public policy priority contains a section highlighting Members of Congress who deserve special recognition for their leadership.
