With Webb now the winner Veterans have a victory
With Allen gone and Webb in Senator Larry Craig will no longer be the Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affair Committee. This is great news for us Veterans. Craig has shown himself to be anything but a friend to us. Craig has even said the VA has to much money. He has deliberately confused unemployed veterans with Unemployable veterans telling Nicholson to put them to work.

So What Now
Well this veteran was promised that Democrats will take care of us. I sent veterans across the Country in convoys to help our people running. Do I believe the Leaders yes I do. I know we will see Democrats insure funding for the VA. I know Democrats will fix all the broken promises that Bush has done to us veterans. I want to see Webb on the Veterans Committee think about this while waiting on Nov 8th where did he go. His Radio Man from Nam and him walked around the graves of our fallen Brothers. I know he will keep the promise we all made to our brothers on the on the Wall in Washington. Never Again will we be treated like dirt. To all my brothers and sisters on the DU you help me keep my promise and this Vet THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

Thank you for your service.

Larry Scott is a great guy. He's also a frequent guest on the Thom Hartmann show.

6. No, Monkeyman - thank YOU

Thank you for everything you did during this election cycle. Thank you for going to Johnstown, PA when Representative Jack Murtha was under fire from the Swift Boaters. Thank you for standing with Jim Webb when the Allen campaign was smearing him.

Now I have something to tell you, and everyone at DU:

My brother came home for good today from Iraq - in one piece.

Thank you, Dear God.

8. Already done, Sir
You can't image how many tears of joy were shed today - and I'm not exaggerating here.

The Democrats take back the House and Senate. My brother came home from Iraq safe.

It's been a good week. :patriot:
