A key Democrat is pushing for a immediate extension of programs for homeless veterans that will expire on Sept.30th after a new congressional report shows big gaps in government assistance.

At the end of the month,two grant programs aimed at homeless veterans- one that provides per diem to shelters and the second that provides technical assistance to providers - will expire. Rep. Michaud, (D-Maine) is sponsoring a bill. the Homeless Veterans Assistance Act of 2006,that would reauthorize the programs. The Bill, HR 5960 ,was introduced July 28th, just before Congress left town on the month-long Augest recess.


Ladies and Brother Steve Buyer (R-IN) is steping in the way of this bill. Please for homeless veterans and people call [phone] Ask for Buyer's office and demand this bill come to the floor for a up or down vote. Thanks we are the ones who will take our Country Back
