"I applaud Senator Blumenthal for introducing this much needed legislation that would clarify that servicemembers and veterans cannot waive their substantive or procedural rights under USERRA."

"would clarify the scope of procedural rights of members of the uniformed services with respect to their employment and reemployment rights."

"the purpose of the PEER Act, which is essentially a pilot program, is 'to promote the use and integration of mental health services in a primary care setting.'"

"I would respectfully strongly disagree with the VA on this. I would point out that the VA has been wrong about every single darn toxic exposure in my adult lifetime."
