By the time 08 rolls around, regardless of the pictures coming out of Iraq then, there will be plenty of returning veterans, disabled and ignored. Voters will be acquainted with the fact.
Apologies, platforms, and eulogies will not mean anything on the campaign trail.
The candidate who is championing the returning veterans' cause will have more to bring in votes than Senatorial grandstanding.
I suggest we hold House members responsible to the task of working on the problem of severely disabled veterans, as well as on returning Guard members whose lives have been negatively impacted, NOW!
In 06 the people spoke. Let presidential candidates frame their arguments. We have things to do now to help those who can't wait for yet another election.
