Meet Roger Sharpe

According to the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Virginia Foxx (R) received a D for her lack of support for active military and veterans. Her voting record shows great lapses in judgement with her votes against...

Hit the flip...

Tierney of Massachusetts Amendment No. 2 - supplied additional funds for operation and maintenance of military hardware.

Obey of Wisconsin Amendment - increase outlays for veterans, education and healthcare.

Melancon of Louisiana Amendment; Military Quality of Life and VA Appropriations - sought to increase funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Capuano of Massachusetts Amendment - for peacekeeping and civilian protection in Darfur, Sudan.

Taylor of Mississippi Amendment - increases funding for the Military Construction, Navy, Marines and Air Force.

In these final days of the campaign, when you are out canvassing and you are cold and your feet are tired, remember all the things you are fighting for.

She finally agreed to debate Sharpe with the following conditions.

It must be taped, not live.

It must be broadcast late Sunday night at 10:30pm.

It must be broadcast from a TV station that is NOT in the district.

And, the last demand, no reporters are allowed.
