More Lies from Joe Knollenberg on His Veterans Record

I found this entry on Joe Knollenberg's Congressional blog today. I'm astounded at how Joe can even show his face at a veterans event. Here's Joe's entry and below are Joe's rankings from veterans groups.

Fighting for Veterans As They Have Fought For Us

This week the House passed the annual Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Bill. This bills funds programs for our military families and veterans through fiscal year 2009. I am proud to have supported this bill.

As a veteran I believe the commitment we make to our brave military men and women is not only important but truly sacred. In fact, in every meeting I have with veterans my commitment to them only grows stronger. We have an obligation to provide proper living conditions for our troops and proper care for our veterans.

The injuries that veterans are coming home with require our immediate attention. The bill Congress just passed provides yet another major increase in veterans’ health programs, which will go a long way towards dealing with the problems our new veterans’ are experiencing, like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Oakland County is home to over 45,000 veterans. These courageous heroes are the best of the best among us, and they deserve the very best we can offer them

Those years Joe did poorly by veterans organizations must have been years their PAC's didn't give enough in campaign contributions. If Republicans are consistant about anything, it is "you get what you pay for".
