Senator Burr's vote this morning was wrong!!!

Dear Friends, I can't believe it. This morning Senator Richard Burr voted against funding for our troops, both at home and abroad. This, in the same week that hundreds of Marines at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina held tearful, hurried holidays with their families as they prepared to ship out to Afghanistan. Crystal Cavalier's husband is in Baghdad, Iraq right now. She also works for the military -- helping families stay connected with their loved ones overseas. This is how she described her reaction to Burr's vote: This isn't right. My husband is over there protecting us. With three kids here at home and him gone, we look forward to that little bit of pay each year. Richard Burr needs to go. Email Richard Burr today. Tell him that voting against our military families for partisan politics is unacceptable. North Carolina is home to tens of thousands of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines and their families.  In a show of bipartisanship, the Senate voted 88-10 to fund body armor, supply armored vehicles to keep our troops safe, and provide our military men and women a well-deserved pay increase. In the past Richard Burr has voted FOR several of his own pay raises for his work in Washington.  But this morning he wouldn't put political games aside and voted AGAINST a pay raise for Crystal's husband for his work on the battlefield.  While Richard Burr is in Washington playing politics with our troops and national security, Amy Castleberry is caring for four children at home at Fort Bragg while her husband is in Ramadi, Iraq. Amy sent me this note after Burr's vote against her family this morning: This pay increase means a lot, with all the bills we have to pay.  This just upsets me, with my husband over there, fighting for Richard Burr's freedoms to run for office and take these votes.  This is a slap in the face. Send Richard Burr a message today. Tell him his "no" vote is wrong for North Carolina's military families. After the sacrifices we've asked of our military families in recent years, Richard Burr's vote this morning is wrong. Join me in putting this Senate seat back to work for the people of North Carolina. Sincerely, Cal Cunningham Candidate for U.S. Senate
