Idaho veterans deserve VA research that's driven by medicine instead of politics.

The Boise VA Medical Center is part of a national research network that gets federal grant funding. A proposed White House rule would require every one of those grants to be approved by a political appointee — someone explicitly forbidden from deferring to scientists or peer reviewers.

Veterans for Idaho Voters is asking Idaho veterans, families, and community members to submit a public comment before July 13.

We've written the comment for you — just fill in your name and your connection to veteran care.

17 veterans die by su***de every day.

60% of them were not in the VA system when they died.

Community organizations funded by federal grants are reaching that 60% — and it's working. In 2025, those grants helped over 17,000 veterans. 91.8% of high-risk participants showed a documented drop in su***de risk.

Now a proposed White House rule would let political appointees cancel those grants mid-program. No wrongdoing required. No warning needed.

You have until July 13 to say something about it.

We've made it simple — a 5-minute comment template is at https://www.v4iv.org/resources and once you're there, click "URGENT: The White House budget office"

Docket: OMB-2026-0034 | Deadline: July 13, 2026

17 veterans die by su***de every day. A new federal rule would let political appointees shut down the grant programs that reach the veterans most at risk — mid-year, without warning.

The comment deadline is July 13. It takes 15 minutes to file.

We have a free guide and a fillable template at https://www.v4iv.org/resources (click on the tab that says URGENT: White House budget officee)

Your voice is on the record. Use it.

Veterans for Idaho Voters was formed by a group of veterans from different political backgrounds who shared a common concern: the need to protect the democratic values we all served to defend. What began as informal discussions among friends has grown into a statewide coalition of veterans dedicated to protecting our democracy and advocating for policies that benefit all Idahoans.

Our members include veterans from all branches of service, all eras of conflict, and all walks of life. What unites us is stronger than what divides us: a commitment to the oath we took to defend the Constitution, and our shared values as Idahoans.
It is critically important that all citizens exercise their right to vote, and that all citizens equally oppose efforts to limit registered voters’ ability to participate in publicly-funded elections. Citizens protect democracy and their civil rights by electing representatives who uphold the Constitution, who actively serve the interests of their constituents rather than the interests of wealthy campaign donors and party leadership, and who are accountable to those they represent.

We support the efforts of Vote Vets votevets.org for supporting democracy, civic engagement, and informed voting.
