Knollenberg Voted Against Arming Our Troops!! Again.

This is outrageous. This is a matter of life and death.

Last week Joe Knollenberg voted to send our troops to Iraq without proper body armor.

Knollenberg thinks our troops only deserve Vietnam era body armor -- he won't vote to supply them with the proper body armor. This 30 second video by a veterans group illustrates the difference.



During the same Appropriations committee meeting, Knollenberg also voted to slash funds for veterans healthcare again!

We have contacted votevets.org to see what we need to do to modify this so it can be run here so voters see just how Knollenberg "supports" the troops.

If you are interested in helping, send an email to Joe@knollenberg.org and we will add you to our contact list.
