Our Bill has now cleared the Senate!
Letter from Mike Partain regarding the water issue and the Senate, after some negotiation, Sen. Demitt released the bill to go forward and from his remarks said that he saw no reason for it not to pass. Yea for all of us! Hopefully help is just a few steps away... hang in there.
Our thanks to Jerry Ensminger and Mike Partain for the tireless journey.
Greetings,

Earlier this evening we achieved a major victory in our fight for Camp Lejeune. Senator DeMint released his hold and our Bill has now cleared the Senate. We ask that everyone cease contacting Senator DeMint's office and Face Book from this point forward.

We all owe Jerry a huge thanks. He has been tirelessly campaigning for the past two years and longer. Over the past few months, Jerry has burned up the phone lines to Washington in call after call to push our Bill forward to a vote.
-
Our next step is the House and a vote is expected relatively soon. We will keep you posted.

Letter from Mr. Miller
Dear Mrs. Hayes,
Thank you very much for contacting my office regarding watercontamination at Camp Lejeune. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know your opinions on an issueof such importance to you and your family.
H.R. 1742, the Janey Ensminger Act, wouldmake a veterans' service connection presumptive for any illness associated with contaminants in the watersupply at Camp Lejeune. It would also make family members who resided at Camp Lejeune during the contaminatedtime period eligible for hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care through the Departmentof Veterans Affairs (VA) for any condition or disability associated with exposure to such contaminants. A similar version of the bill, S. 277, passed the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee in August of 2011.
As Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I amworking with my Senate counterparts to finalize a comprehensive veterans' benefits and health bill thatincludes the Camp Lejeune water contamination legislation. I hope to bring forward a bill that can passboth chambers of Congress and be signed into law so that veterans receive the care they deserve.
Thank you again for your e-mail. If you would like to receivefurther information on issues of importance to you, please log on to my website at http://jeffmiller.house.gov/. As always, please contact my office if you have any further concerns.
With warm personalregards, I am
