Marsha, just because you vote for Halliburton and vote for the war doesn't mean you support the troops.
With news about North Korea's latest attempt at getting the world's attention, it's becoming even more apparent the value of our military. The brave men and women of our armed services are what keep each and everyone of us safe and protected when enemies threaten. They risk their lives, do not question their orders, and put it all on the line so that we can enjoy the happiness of home.
Because of this sacrifice, you would believe that Congress would do everything in its power to keep our troops safe and provide them with everything they need, both on and off the battlefield. But you would be wrong.
As quoted from DCCC.org:
[Rep. Blackburn (R) opposed expanding access to the military's TRICARE health insurance program to thousands of Reservist and National Guard members, even though 20 percent of all Reservists do not have health insurance, and 40 percent of Reservists aged 19 to 35 lack health coverage.]
[Rep. Blackburn (R) voted to continue awarding contracts to Halliburton even if the Pentagon's own audit processes found that more than $100 million of their contractor's costs in Iraq were unreasonable. No surprise that Halliburton gave Blackburn $1,000.]
Marsha, just because you vote for Halliburton and vote for the war doesn't mean you support the troops.
Democratic Congressional Candidate Bill Morrison, a former veteran of the US Army, understands what it means to be a soldier as well as understands how important it is that soldiers be given all the resources they need to live.
"We celebrate their commitment to us, and we certainly want to honor that commitment by fully funding veterans benefits. It is the duty of all Americans to make sure our serving men and women get all the resources and benefits they need." - Bill Morrison
Candidate Morrison has been endorsed by the Veterans and Military Families for Progress organization ["because of his decision to push for the passage of a 21st century GI Bill, and his deep understanding of the need for providing and guaranteeing full Health Coverage for National Guard and Reserve personnel, demonstrate that he is a candidate who has the character and courage to do what is right for the defenders of America's freedom."]
