- Co-founder of #KeepYourPromise alliance in December 2013 along with a group of military spouses angered over an out-of-touch Congress that voted to reduce the value of military retirements by tens of thousands of dollars. The campaign galvanized tens of thousands of online participants, leading to more than 157 million timeline hits on Twitter, and hundreds of thousands of individual calls and letters to legislators. The effort ultimately overturned the cuts, a mere 61 days after they were made law, in a landslide vote that might represent the least partisan action the 113th Congress had taken to date.
