A McCain Mistake

No link on this one as there is plenty of stuff available...just my heart-felt opinion...

Senator John McCain is making a huge mistake opposing a piece of legislation entitled "21st Century G.I. Bill of Rights"...

The legislation, introduced my Virginia Senator Jim Webb (D), has 58 co-sponsors, including 11 Republicans and both independents in the Senate...

For those not familiar with the G.I. Bill, it has bee called by some one of the best pieces of legislation of the 20th Century...it helped pay for thoughs of veterans college education (including mine!)...

It also paid for technical education for those who did not want college...

The Bush Administration opposes this legislation, which is estimated to cost $52 B over 10 years...it would guarantee a full scholarship to any public in-state university to a veteran after three years of service...

Senator McCain, if you truely SUPPORT THE TROOPS, join the 58 other senators who are co-sponsors and support this legislation...

McPain probably sees it as taking $52B away from tuition aid for illegal aliens. Vote Bob Barr!!
