The blocked veterans care bill.

To:
Sen. Tom Coburn

November 3, 2009

Senator Durbin of Illinois just mentioned from the well a bill to help improve a much-beleaguered Veterans' Administration which was blocked by one "unnamed" senator because of the cost.

Should you be this unnamed senator, please reconsider. Many of those maimed or traumatized veterans are in those hospitals because of you and the rest of this out-to-lunch congress who supported the Bush/Cheney world-wide wrecking crew in the first place.

You cannot have it both ways, Senator…send our youngsters off into these corporate or ego-driven wars, then not take care of them when they return.
