How do our legislators look after the troops?
The Veterans Watchdog Organization (www.vawatchdog.org) finds that in 2006, WA Democrats Jay Inslee, Rick Larsen, Brian Baird, Norm Dicks, Jim McDermott & Adam Smith supported the troops 100%. Patty Murray & Maria Cantwell supported them 80%. Republicans Dave Reichert, Doc Hastings & Cathy McMorris supported them 66%. These figures were similar all over the country.

McMorris Recognized for her Support of Veterans
Congresswoman Cathy McMorris has received a 100% rating from key veterans groups including the American Veterans and the Vietnam Veterans of America for her work and votes during the 109th Congress.
The Vietnam Veterans for America and the American Veterans gave a perfect score to McMorris for votes taken on legislation important to veterans including the Flag Protection Act, Veterans Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act, Veterans Benefits Improvement Act, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Visiting Center Act, Department of Veterans Affairs Information Technology Management Improvement Act, National Defense Authorization Appropriation bills, and Military Quality of Life and Veterans Affairs Appropriation bills.
The Veterans of Foreign War released a list of veteran’s accomplishments during the 109th Congress, all of which were supported by McMorris. The accomplishments include ensuring that sufficient funding is appropriated for the Veterans Health Care Administration, ensuring that the VA disability compensation program is preserved in its current form to protect the needs of current and future veterans, securing authority and full funding for the GI Bill for the 21st century, and passing and authorizing a program to allow all disabled military retirees to full military retirement pay and full disability compensation without offset.
