URGENT CALL TO ACTION:
Demand Senator Mike Lee Lift Hold
On 9/11 VCF Permanent Authorization Act

After finally getting The Never Forget The Heroes: James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has placed a hold on the bill, preventing it from advancing to the floor of the Senate for a vote and further delaying the help that 9/11 responders need and deserve.

The U.S House passed the bill last week by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 402-12.

We need our members to call Senator Lee’s office and demand in a professional and respectful manner that Senator Lee lift his hold immediately on the 9/11 VCF Permanent Authorization Act.

Senator Lee’s Washington, DC, office: (202) 224-5444
Senator Lee’s Salt Lake City office: (801) 524-5933
The bill has support in the Senate on both sides of the aisle with 72 cosponsors.

Our brothers and sisters who responded on 9/11 need our help. Please stand together with them today.
