Last week Senate Republicans decided to give the middle finger to veterans by using a procedural vote to kill the Veterans Jobs Corp Act, 58-40.
The unemployment rate for Iraq, Afghanistan and Gulf War II-era Veterans is now nearly 11 percent, but Republicans blocked this bill because they don't want anything that could remotely help anyone to happen under President Obama's watch. That, and they don't really care about veterans, much like Mitt Romney, who explained that he didn't mention the men and women fighting in Afghanistan during his speech at the Republican National Convention because "when you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important."
That's just how Republicans are, and it's why we are going all in to upgrade the Senate with more and better Democrats.
We are working to elect progressive Democrats in six key Senate races: Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin, Chris Murphy in Connecticut, Mazie Hirono in Hawaii and Martin Heinrich in New Mexico. We've also made supporting all six of these candidates easy by putting them on a single Act Blue page.
