Akaka Veterans Medical Care amendment rejected
On the same day they killed the most popular issue of the environmental movement, Republicans also denied an increase to veterans medical care. What a bunch of fucking jerks.

3. PHOTOs: more than 9,000 HOMELESS Veterans sleep on DC streets

MOST of these Veterans desparately need MEDICAL CARE: mental health care and physical health care...they need vaccinations, dental repairs, war wound treatment (WAR amputations and injuries require LIFE-LONG medical support)....many need NEW wheel chairs....war wounds never get better, as OUR Veterans get OLDER, their war wounds get worse.....



coming to cities all across America....
