Good stuff:
Current military personnel have some of the greatest healthcare needs yet Mark Souder voted AGAINST helping them. He voted AGAINST $1.7 Billion dollars for healthcare. He voted AGAINST $450 Million for PTSD care. He voted AGAINST $450 Million for brain injury care. He voted AGAINST $62 Million for amputee care. He voted AGAINST $20 Million for Walter Reed. Giving our troops the much-needed healthcare they deserve evidently wasn't important enough to Mark Souder.
Mark Souder voted AGAINST the idea that our troops should only be sent to war with the proper equipment and readiness level. Mark Souder evidently doesn't care that our troops need the new IED-resistant up-armored vehicles. He voted AGAINST $1.4 Billion for these new IED-resistant vehicles. How can he continue to send troops to combat if they are not fully trained and equipped? This bill would've prevented that unless the president waived that requirement for national security reasons - Mark Souder voted AGAINST this.

Jeff and I have had our differences, but. . .he has a sharp intellect and has earned my respect. I always look forward to his posts!
Thanks Craig and John.
I SINCERELY hope Dr Hayhurst runs against Souder in '08. A quick look at the Jerry McNerney win in California shows that things can change significantly the 2nd time around.
McNerney defeated the most anti-environment Congressman around in Richard Pombo by 6.5 points in the 2006 mid-term elections. This after losing by 22 points in 2004!
I was extremely proud to be a McNerney campaign contributor on election night and I can only imagine the feeling we'd all have if Souder were defeated...
