Saxon will do right by our veterans

I am disgusted by U.S. Rep. Paul Broun.

His announcement recently proposing a constitutional ban on gay marriage was the same old tired pre-election tactic, although his Web site talks about "change." The announcement very conveniently covered up his vote last week on a bill supporting our veterans -- a bill to increase small-business assistance for veterans.

Why would he want to cover that up? Because he voted against our veterans. That's right, Fort Gordon. He voted against you . He conveniently makes an announcement sure to get some attention while voting against a bill to help our service members serving multiple, extended tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Disgusting. Send him a clear message in November. Vote for someone who will fight for you -- a veteran himself. Vote for Bobby Saxon to represent District 10 in the U.S. House.

I have met Mr. Saxon, who is a retired Army officer and veteran of the war in Iraq. He is very committed to supporting our troops and our veterans. The new GI bill will do just that, and it was reprehensible for Congressman Broun to vote against. Many volunteer for service knowing that it is the only way they will be able to afford to obtain a degree and become a better educated and better paid member of society. It's an investment in America's future, certainly much better spent than giving our hard earned tax dollars to Halliburton and Blackwater. I agree with the letter writer--it's time for change in the Congress.

Thank you for the liberal rant that consistently gives us the "weak world appearance" we are paying for. You know being spineless means ofcourse you don't put actions into proper context and you glom on to "emotional" issues. I am guessing "THE CHURULDREN" and the "ENVRIONMENT" whine has been so run into the ground the libbies will take the "Veterans" (who they have NEVER SUPPORTED) as their next victim dujour.

Every tax and spend bill DIMs have ever passed was, according to them, for the "chilrun" (mispelled on pupose). I would put my vote on a former military officer with combat experience before some Athens nobody that can't even be found with google.

The late Senator Broun is the Congressman's father. If you google Paul Broun you will go to the latter's website.
