Thanks to a poll conducted by the Vet Voice Foundation, we know one of the best ways you can show your support for veterans this Veterans Day: stand with them in opposition of plans to privatize VA hospital programs and services.

According to the poll:

* 64% of veterans oppose privatization, and that includes a majority of Republicans and Democrats alike.

* Almost 75% of veterans who have reported using a VA hospital oppose privatization schemes.

* Over 57% of veterans, including a majority of Republicans, would be less likely to vote for a candidate who supported privatizing VA care.

The findings are clear: health care is a promise made to our veterans, and after two wars in 14 years, a record number of veterans need care -- the VA is where the experts are, and we need to strengthen, not weaken, this system.

Show your support for those who have served by signing our petition opposing the privatization of veterans' health care.
