2008 Government Relations
Advocacy
The Eagles have a long and distinguished history of engaging in
government relations advocacy that promotes government programs and
policies that help American families and workers. In 2008, the Eagles
will begin a new government relations program focusing on three
important issues:
-
Improved care for wounded combat veterans
-
Ensuring the long-term stability of the Social Security system
-
Working to ensure that every child in America has health insurance
In the next year, all Eagles will be called upon to lend their voice to this effort by contacting their elected leaders and asking them to take a lead on these issues. More information will be provided on this initiative in the coming months. If you have any immediate questions, please contact Kim governmentrelations@foe.com.
Mission of the Fraternal Order of Eagles
The Fraternal Order of Eagles is an international, non-profit organization, unites fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills, and by promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope.
The mission of the Fraternal Order of Eagles is also the mission of the Government Relations / Lobbying Committee.
We will promote legislation, change government agency polices and practices to accomplish our mission. The Committee will exist to promote legislation and changes to policy and practices to assist our communities, Aerie’s, Auxiliary’s and members.
Image and Reputation
Our image used to be that the Fraternal Order of Eagles were leaders in social legislation such as the Social Security Act. We can again become the leaders to make human life more desirable and for others everywhere.
Over the years, the Eagles have fought and won many bitter battles for a Workman's Compensation Act, Mothers and Old Age pensions, Social Security laws and "Jobs After 40" and are still fighting to liberalize present social benefits.
Many great social and political leaders have belonged to the Eagles. President Theodore Roosevelt was one of the many who joined and praised the order for its humanitarian accomplishments, as did a later Roosevelt - Franklin D. President Harry S. Truman often reiterated that the Eagles were his type of organization
We are looking for members who have existing contacts or are willing to have contact with our elected representatives, government officials or agencies.
