SUNUNU VOTES AGAINST TROOPS
Blocks Defense Authorization Bill in the name of partisan politics
Republican Senator John Sununu last night voted against the Defense Authorization bill which included a pay raise for servicemembers and improvements in healthcare for troops and their families. The bill Sununu opposed authorizes weapons systems, including $3 billion to defeat IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan.
