    I'm ashamed and embarrassed that BOTH of my senators voted against veterans health. You can guess who I'm not voting for next time.

    Both of my senators voted against the Veterans as well. No, they won't receive my vote next time either. As for John McCain? He needs to retire and it is no wonder he lost his run for President. It is especially shameful that he, not only a Vietnam Veteran, but a POW would vote against his fellow Veterans.
