Senator Murray stepping up for veterans and homeless kids

[Left coast liberal]

I stumbled upon this today:

“We are seeing more and more homeless veterans with children coming to the VA and Veterans Service Organizations seeking help. And women now make up about five percent of homeless veterans, up from three percent just a decade ago, and about ten percent of homeless Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.", US Senator Patty Murray, (D-WA) said during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Veteran's Affairs today.

Murray continues to show her commitment to our veterans and children with the introduction of a new bill S. 1237 The Homeless Women Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Children Act of 2009.

I love me some Patty and always have. Encourage your senator to support this bill.

Currently she has 3 co-sponsors: Tim Johnson , Jeff Merkley and John Reed
