Jobs for Veterans filibustered by Republicans
By Brenda Witt (Contact)
To be delivered to: The United States Senate
Petition Statement
Republican Senators (except Sens. Brown, Collins, Heller, Murkowski and Snowe): Stop playing political games and support our veterans with the help they need to rejoin the American workforce by passing S. 3457, Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012.
Petition Background
Forty Republicans showed their lack of compassion for our members of the armed services by voting on 9/19/12 to filibuster the Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012, which would have provided training to help veterans find work as police, firefighters, and in preservation of our public lands. With an unemployment rate of 10.9% for veterans, is this how these Republican Senators reward our heroes?
