2006 IAVA Congressional Ratings
After going through the 107th, 108th and 109th Congressional sessions, tallying more than 300 votes on issues that matter most to our troops, veterans and military families, IAVA formed the 2006 Congressional Ratings. Major legislation included TRICARE for Reservists, Military Death Gratuity, and Funding for TBI Research. The results were astounding with only 97 A’s out of 538 in the house and senate combined. We firmly believe that any grade less than an ‘A’ demonstrates a lack of full commitment to supporting our troops. IAVA will continue to update these grades so that our members stay informed of their elected officials’ real support of our troops and veterans.
