The bill protecting our Afghan allies and their families is dead this session, after it was excluded from the omnibus passed by the Senate earlier today. So deeply shameful:

The time is NOW. @SenSchumer@twitter.com bring the #AfghanAdjustmentAct to a floor amendment vote.
Stand with veterans and our Afghan allies.
We must not break the promises we made as a country and we must support those who stood by us through twenty years of war.

If @ChuckGrassley blocks the #AfghanAdjustmentAct it will send a very clear signal that he and other GOP lawmakers donβt care about US service members and our sacrifices or those of our allies. @LeaderMcConnell needs to set his fellows straight and get the AAA passed.

My message to Senate colleagues debating whether to include the #AfghanAdjustmentAct as a floor amendment to the omnibus to keep our Afghan allies from being deported back to the same hell our brave men and women in uniform rescued them from.

Every day I get messages from Afghans left behind. They all say the same thing "Please help me, I'm going to die"
The #AfghanAdjustmentAct would help these people. It would also take the burden off of thousands of veterans like me. @SenSchumer@twitter.com please make this a floor amendment

Congress failing to pass the #AfghanAdjustmentAct is a complete betrayal of our veterans and Afghan wartime allies. π§΅β¦

Absolute travesty that SEN Grassley's objection has prevented the #AfghanAdjustmentAct from being included in the omni.

I hope @ChuckGrassley@twitter.com and @LeaderMcConnell@twitter.com do the right and moral thing with respect to the #AfghanAdjustmentAct. It's not possible to forego this and still say you "support the troops." https://twitter.com/JasonKander/status/1603245321550700544

TODAY is the day for Congress to do its part to fulfill the promises to our Afghan allies and partners. Include the #AfghanAdjustmentAct (AAA) in the FY23 Omnibus. #ISupportAAA

#fellas US citizens have to make noise. I have gotten some very generic responses from politicians including @POTUS@twitter.com on how our Afghan allies deserve SIV. Citizens let this sit for more than a decade and it is a shame on both political parties. Pass the #AfghanAdjustmentAct https://twitter.com/alexplitsas/status/1601758892882792449

Congress should keep our promises to our allies by passing the #AfghanAdjustmentAct. As β¦@McCainJack says: The moral injury of continuing to fail them wears on our fighting forces every day. https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-afghan-adjustment-act-mccain-20221206-jufzwvzxu5etrmpgb2n3isrlge-story.html https://nitter.net/EvelynNFarkas/status/1601243961045155842#m
Just a few weeks left in the federal legislative year. This last weekend, the CA Dem Party board identified 3 bills as a priority to pass:
1. #AfghanAdjustmentAct to make it easier for Afghan refugees to get permanent status in the US.
2. Simplifying & Strengthening Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness
3. Respect for Marriage Act - requiring fed govt to recognize same sex & interracial marriage, in case the Supreme Court overturns cases
