The first of two Veterans Care Fairs by Iowa Congressman David Young kicks-off this Saturday. These events are a one-stop-shop to connect veterans with a wide range of options and opportunities available to them. And with over 20 different agencies, organizations and universities confirmed to attend there will be something there for everyone.

The challenges our brave women and men in uniform and their families face do not stop when their service to our nation ends. Often, great challenges begin back here at home. Whether it's finding a job, an affordable place to live, getting the right medical care, securing benefits, or maybe just connecting with someone to talk to who understands their experience, it's not always a smooth transition back to civilian life.

This week's 60 Second Survey topic is on the recently reached trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). 

Take the survey.

Back in June, I voted for and Congress passed Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) to ensure a transparent process to review the full trade agreement. Now that TPP negotiations are complete, President Obama must send the full trade agreement to Congress. And that is just the first step. The deal cannot be implemented unless Congress passes legislation to approve it along with the other 11 nations involved in the deal.
