Brownwood & Big Country Republicans : Supporting the Troops ?

Failures when supporting our troops

Dear Editor,

Do our Elected Republican Politicians REALLY Support The Troops ? When they show up politicking at our local schoolhouse, standing in front of your children, do they speak of their complete voting record and their own grades ? Here are their Grades, Their Report Cards if you will, based on how they voted on the issues involving our Military Troops:

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) D+
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) D-
Representative Mike Conaway (R-TX 11th) D
Representative Randy Neugebauer (R-TX 19th) D

These Grades were compiled by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. You can see all of the Politicians voting records for yourself at www.iava.org

I’ve made a few D’s in my school life and I knew at an early age that a D is a FAILURE and that no matter how I tried to convince my parents or my teacher otherwise, we all knew it was a failing grade. Spin it however you’d like, these four R’s have all brought home D’s on their “Support The Troops” Report Cards !
