I love this woman Sen Patty Murry Vets Committee

[Monkeyman]

Member of the Veterans Committee Will take on the administration on the neglect of our troops and veterans' mental health.

She has fought for us every time. She is the Senator from Washington State an I am proud as hell of her. She takes no shit and gives them hell.

She promised our people from VVA she will leave no stone unturned in the Walter Reed mater or why PTSD troops are being denied. Dam this vet want to give her one big hug.

1. Hey Monkeyman she my Senator and she is a ferocious

advocate for our military men and woman.

A kick for Sen Patty Murry!:kick:

[SharonAnn]

16. She is the first candidate I ever gave money to. And I live in Ohio then.

She's so awesome and I'm so proud of her. I just wish she was my senator instead of Lamar Alexander or Bob Corker (I live in Tennessee now).

I support candidates like here wherever I find them in this country. It's really important to do so.

But, she was my first! Then Debbie Stabenow, Maria Cantwell, Jenifer Granholm, Bruce Braley, etc.

2. Ok, but what was the hoopla today where the two women interupted...

Patty Murray's press conference and demanded that she be arrested immediately for war crimes based on her vote (I believe it was with respect to her vote on the Military Commissions Act)?

4. Some times people go after the wrong ones for the wrong reasons

[Turbineguy]

3. She also voted

against the War Authorization.

[Adelante]

6. That's what I thought

I was trying to figure this out. Thanks.

[Turbineguy]

19. Murray and Inslee voted against

Cantwell voted for but has changed her mind.

22. As did McDermott

Don't forget Jim...
And he has been leading the charge on investigating the Depleted Uranium issue and it's affects on our vets. He was the person telling America about this stuff right after he got back from Iraq PRIOR to the war. He has over the last few years sponsored and cosponsored many Bills relating to this issue. Here is the latest one:

5. She has always stood up for Vets

[Monkeyman]

7. And Military Families like the raise in TRICARE fees

8. Thank you for your service Monkeyman

approaching 50 Air Force brat here.

[Monkeyman]

10. Some Times I am proud of my service but other still invade my dreams

[oldtimecanuk]

9. Ok, I didn't know and was just asking.... I always thought that Senator...

Murray was ok, but I saw that today and didn't know if I was mislead or not! I thought that she was very popular during her run up to being Senator from the State of Washington..... Although I am Canadian, I do have property in Washington State and probably should have known that she was good... But I saw that fracas today, and honestly didn't know what the hell to think.

12. Thank you folks for the clarification on this... eom...

11. Senator Barack Obama is a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs. What's he done? n/t

[Monkeyman]

14. Cross over a few times to get bills passed like the 5 million for homeless veterans

Not allot but that's all the Replugs would go for

[jody]

15. We Dems control the Senate today, so what is Obama doing? n/t

[Monkeyman]

17. he signed on to Kerry's bill on the Veterans Care

He has four bills on veterans this year. Other then that I do not know. I don't watch who is running for President they don't do much then.

[jody]

18. With all the need for congressional support for veterans, apparently Obama is all talk no substance.

[Monkeyman]

20. None of the other are why not him

[jody]

21. OP says Murry has. If a senator doesn't lead on her/his own committee, then she/he is not a leader.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. campaigned for her, she is a good Senator

follows things through
