Veterans have their voice back
As promised to us today House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,Bob Filner the New House Veterans Affairs Chairman and Senator Daniel Akaka Senate Chairman for Veterans Affairs. Reversed the decision of the GOP leadership and reinstated the joint hearing process in which our veterans voices are heard.

This Veteran was promised this in the 2006 run. They have kept their promise. No More will the Republican Cuts to Veterans not be heard. I will post their statement later after they are typed up. Thank God For Democrats

2. And Senator Webb introduced legislation
similar to the GI bill introduced during WWII, granting extensive education and other benefits to veterans.
