Jeez, an agent-orange inflicted, nothing-to-lose veterans demographic is a strange segment to target with your massive gutting of government services, especially when your base also skews to the gun-toting segment as well. I mean those have gotta overlap in a Venn diagram that sometimes bites.

Senator Tester got the PACT Act done two years ago when nobody said he could. Why? Because it was the # 1 priority for Veterans and their families. We need to do the same with Senator Tester's Major Richard Star Act—the top legislative issue for veterans and VSOs. Our combat-injured Vets can't wait. #MTPol #JonTester @JonTester #Montana #PACTAct #MajorRichardStarAct #Veterans #VeteransHealthcare
