RP Community, would it be a good idea to have an RP legislative delegation to go to Washington and talk to legislators about our concerns? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/rp-community-would-it-be-a-good-idea-to-have-an-rp-legislative-delegation-to-go-to-washington-and-talk-to-legislators-about-our-concerns <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div> Tue, 10 Apr 2018 22:17:23 -0400 RP Community, would it be a good idea to have an RP legislative delegation to go to Washington and talk to legislators about our concerns? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/rp-community-would-it-be-a-good-idea-to-have-an-rp-legislative-delegation-to-go-to-washington-and-talk-to-legislators-about-our-concerns <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div> PO3 Phyllis Maynard Tue, 10 Apr 2018 22:17:23 -0400 2018-04-10T22:17:23-04:00 Response by Sgt Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 11 at 2018 12:39 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/rp-community-would-it-be-a-good-idea-to-have-an-rp-legislative-delegation-to-go-to-washington-and-talk-to-legislators-about-our-concerns?n=3532779&urlhash=3532779 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What concerns? Where would the funds come from? We currently have major groups like DAV, VFW, and Paralyzed Veterans of America in Washington D.C.

Each of us belongs to a community, state and nation we have most certainly earned the right to have a hand in leading.
