For a number of years, Republican Senator Roy Blunt and his staff told a story about his low draft number. "The low 300s, and was never called," they would say.
Yesterday, the truth came out: it wasn't luck of the draw that kept Senator Blunt out of Vietnam, it was multiple deferments. Which wouldn't have been a problem ... if he had been honest about it all these years.
But what should really stick in your craw is when you consider the news alongside the many votes Senator Blunt has cast against veterans: votes to cut housing vouchers for homeless veterans, a vote against Bernie Sanders VA expansion legislation, and a vote against foreclosure protection for veterans.
Senator Blunt is up for re-election this year, and his opponent just so happens to be a progressive Afghanistan veteran: VoteVets endorsed candidate Jason Kander.
Contribute $3/HPC to VoteVets and Jason Kander's U.S. Senate campaign and make Senator Roy Blunt pay a price for his mis-truths and votes against veterans.
Here is some actual truth: Jason Kander's race is one of the most competitive U.S. Senate races in the country, and you can be proud to support his campaign. We're working hard to elect a new generation of progressive veterans to the Senate this year, and Jason belongs right near the top of that list.
Thank you for supporting his campaign.
All my best,
