Default Something Concrete You can do to Support Severly Injured Vets Today

The Veteran's Omnibus Caregiver and Health bill is being blocked by
one Senator; Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. More of our wounded soldiers are
surviving but a larger portion than ever require life long care. Right
now much of that care falls on families and aging parents. This bill
helps out financially and will give caregivers some break time.

You can help by letting Coburn know what you think and getting some of
his party members to press Coburn harder. Coburn says he's blocking
the bill for budget reasons. But NO OTHER REPUBLICAN OR DEM agrees.

Here is a Marine Corps Times article on the issue. Read it and maybe
you can help in some small way today or tomorrow.
