The very existence of vaccine passports represents a major threat to the liberty and privacy of Americans everywhere, and they shouldn't be forced to pay for them with their hard-earned tax dollars.
We owe so much to those brave veterans who sacrificed their health or their lives in service to our country. Removing arbitrary barriers which keep their families from accessing the benefits they deserve isn't a partisan issue.
