In today’s challenging political climate, your voice matters now more than ever. At EANGUS, we’ve launched the Legislative Action Center—a hub where Guard, Reserve, and enlisted voices can be heard by Congress. This platform empowers you to quickly and effectively contact lawmakers on key legislative issues that affect your benefits, readiness, and family well-being.
One of the most urgent priorities featured is H.R. 5401 — the Pay Our Troops Act of 2026. During a federal government shutdown, this bill would guarantee that members of the Armed Forces and Department of Defense civilian employees continue receiving pay until full appropriations are passed—or through January 1, 2027, whichever comes first.
As President Josh J. Baker put it, “A government shutdown should never force our service members or their families to go without pay. The Pay Our Troops Act safeguards our people in uniform during times when politics threaten their financial stability.”
With the Legislative Action Center, you can:
-
Send pre-written messages or personalize your own to your U.S. Senators or Representative
-
Track EANGUS’s priority bills and resolutions
-
Share advocacy tools and talking points for use during drill weekends or in your community
Together with our partner associations—NGAUS, AGAUS, and ROA—we’ve delivered joint letters to both the House and Senate urging swift introduction and approval of H.R. 5401. Even as the government is shut down, EANGUS continues to operate, fight, and advocate on your behalf.
Visit the Legislative Action Center today and amplify your voice on Capitol Hill.
