VFW Calls on Sen. Tommy Tuberville to Lift Hold on Military Promotions
VFW sends letter to Senator, while VFW National Commander admonishes “this is not the way Congress should do business”
September 18, 2023
WASHINGTON – In a letter sent Sept. 18, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is calling on Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville to lift his hold on the routine promotion of military general and flag officers.
“The line in the sand for the VFW is simple: Political disputes must be handled by politicians – not within the ranks of the all-volunteer force. Sen. Tuberville’s hold on these routine promotions has consequences up and down the active-duty force that will take years to fix,” said VFW Commander-in-Chief Duane Sarmiento. “By sending this letter, the VFW is making our voice very clear – this is not the way Congress should do business.”

I wanted to go up to those young Muslim mums at the anti-trans rally on Parliament Hill today - to explain that these right-wing transphobes are NOT their friends, that many of them probably dislike Muslim women in hijabs almost as much as they dislike queer/LGBQT people. I know politics makes strange bedfellows. But if we don't stand together to protect each other's rights - even when we disagree - then we stand nowhere. #cdnpoli #Ottawa #yow #TransRightsAreHumanRights
