Recently, Republicans in Congress voted to cut in half the
funding for treatment of traumatic brain injuries for our military
veterans. It was part of the 2007 defense appropriations bill.

They cited “budgetary constraints” as their reason. These are
the same Republicans who last year gave a huge tax cut to the very
wealthiest Americans.
Now they claim they don’t have the money for American men and
women who sustained brain injuries in service to their country.
This is absolutely shameful.
Congressman, Tom Tancredo, was one of those Republicans who
voted against our troops. I urge all of you who read this to call
or write Tancredo and let him know that our troops deserve only the
best treatment and that he should do everything in his power to
restore this important funding.
