WASHINGTON -- A Democratic congressman on Saturday urged Republicans to "step up to the plate" to help veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
..."President Bush and our Republican colleagues in Congress should join Democrats to make these policies the law of the land so that a grateful nation can repay its heroes," the congressman said.
..."Our men and women in uniform have stepped up to the plate for the good of our country," Becerra said. "It is time we step up to the plate for the good of our veterans."

The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act has bipartisan support. But our own Senator Mitch McConnell has been playing his obstructionist games again, putting the needs of his rich contributors before our nation's veterans.
Please contact McConnell at (859) 578-0188, and tell him to support Senator Webb's bipartisan GI Bill.
