This bill is a complete disaster! It's going to have a huge impact on our veterans and military construction projects. I can't believe they are even considering passing this. It's going to hurt so many people, including myself. I can't stand by and watch this happen. We need to speak up and fight against this before it's too late. This is unacceptable and we need to make sure our voices are heard.
