Senator Patty Murray today called up a homeless women veterans bill on the Senate floor but it was blocked by Senate Republicans. The bill was introduced in June of 2009 and passed the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee on January 28, 2010 with strong bi-partisan support.
"I am deeply disappointed that Senate Republicans continued to put politics above people and blocked my bill that would provide support for homeless women veterans and their families," said Senator Patty Murray. "This is a bipartisan, common-sense bill that would support veterans in my home state of Washington and across the country. I am going to continue fighting for it to pass. And I urge Senate Republicans to end their obstruction and allow homeless women veterans across the country to get the support they have earned."

Senators Menendez, Lautenberg and Nelson today asked unanimous consent on their Big Oil Bailout Prevention Liability Act of 2010, a bill that would raise the liability caps for oil companies from $75 million to $10 billion to help ensure that they pay the full costs of economic and environmental disasters caused by their negligence. Sen. Murkowski, however, objected, essentially blocking passage of this important piece of legislation. Inexplicably, Republicans are protecting negligent oil companies like BP and blocking our efforts to prevent a BP bailout," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "Through their obstruction, Republicans are leaving taxpayers on the hook to pay for BPs negligence."
