Report Card on Veterans' Issues
By Bryan CathermanHow does Congress really stack up on our new Veterans’ issues?
The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of American Action Fund has compiled a report card of each member of Congress. Basically, they took the voting history on 169 House Votes and 155 for the Senate since September 11, 2001 and scored them on an A to F scale. (See http://www.iava.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2056&Itemid=214 for an in-depth explanation of the scoring.)
Most results seem to suggest that Democrats are doing more for Veterans than Republicans. This may or may not be true. The key is analyzing the 169 and 155 selected votes. (See which votes were selected by visiting http://capwiz.com/iava/keyvotes.xc/?lvl=C)
