Week of June 22, 2008 - June 28, 2008

Better Senators for Veterans: Rick Noriega


We are near our goal for the quarter $1500. We only need $65 to get there. If six people give $10.50 we are there.

Click here  to donate to Better Senators for Veterans.

This fund is about more than just donating, it's about raising awareness for an issue. It's also about letting the incumbent Republicans know that we will not allow them to say one thing about supporting Veterans, do another and then change their mind again because the public is unhappy.

Weeks ago 22 Republican Senators including John Cornyn, Lamar Alexander, Jeff Sessions and Mitch McConnell said that the Webb GI Bill would hurt retention rates and they could not support the bill in that form. We raised that issue and collectively said how can they say they support our troops. They said they voted for the GI Bill this week because it transfered benefits. What they really did was see polling and heard from constituents showing that they were wrong. Instead of admitting mistakes, we are getting spin.

Where have any of these been on the issue of the disparity in health care treatment for female veterans? Where are any of these in terms of bringing our troops home?

$65 and we will continue to fight and say that we delivered for Rick Noriega and a host of others. Veterans deserve better respect and treatment and should not get spin from Republicans that never served our country.

Again I ask you to click here and donate $5.01, $10.01 or whatever you can afford.

See the response video from Noriega to Big Bad John


Be one of the first to see the response. I just got it from Noriega's campaign manager. It's quite clever.

Click here to go see the video.

After you watch the video, click here to donate to Better Senators for Veterans and help us reach our goal tonight. We are only $140 away from that goal.

This video does make issue of the veterans issue but also talks about how Noriega will be better for the energy crisis, gas prices and generally more effective. (Cornyn is the 81st most effective Senator)
