'Tillis and Burr, I'm coming tomorrow and if you guys aren't on the bill in North Carolina there's gonna be a problem,' John Feal said.
"How dare they not get on this bill because of political affiliation," he said."Shame on them! They work for us.". According to Feal, 333 members of the House have signed on to the bill, meaning it is expected to pass by a significant majority. Feal also said that about 70 senators had signed on to the legislation, which would lead to it passing the upper house of Congress as well.
The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act first passed Congress back in 2010, despite some Republicans opposing the bill at the time due to it allocating $7 billion. Five years later, in 2015, the legislation was reapproved for the next 90 years, except for the Victims Compensation Fund. That was only funded for five years, which will be up at the end of next year.
Former Daily Show Host Jon Stewart and 9/11 first responder John Feal at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on reauthorization of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund on Capitol Hill on June 11 in Washington, D.C."Al-Qaeda didn't shout death to Tribeca. They attacked America and these men and women and their response to it is what brought our country back," he said. Stewart also criticized Congress, as relatively few members of the legislative body attended the hearing.
"As I sit here today, I can't help but think what an incredible metaphor this room is for the entire process that getting health care and benefits for 9/11 first responders has come to," he said."Behind me, a filled room of 9/11 first responders and in front of me, a nearly empty Congress."
