Show your support for Veterans by signing this petition asking Sen Coburn (R-OK) to stop blocking S-1963 "The Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2009.” Can't pay for it, Senator, how about revoking tax cuts on the wealthy?

1. thanks MM

signed on-I did this for my brother who I last spoke with 2 years ago today-we lost him 2 weeks later. He was a VVA and my hero.

2. Dumb senatorial procedure question

Apparently the more I learn about congress, the less I know ...

How does a single senator, from the minority party at that, block a bill? Does he threaten a one-man filibuster (quake in fear!)?

Other than that, I have mixed feelings about the bill. This would seem to be a good benefit, but then why limit it to wounded veterans? Limiting health benefits to certain groups seems to be one more application of "divide and conquer".
