Fossella gets C+ from IAVA

The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America’s Action Fund has rated members of Congress based on votes cast on veterans and troops issues. IAVA gave Rep. Vito Fossella a C+ rating. Not bad if it were Calculus, not very good at all considering he was voting on issues relating to our troops. The C+ is tied for 19th (with a handful of other Reps), with only 3 scoring worse.

This shouldn't be all that surprising considering Vito voted against extending health care coverage to our troops;

Rep. Fossella opposed expanding access to the military's TRICARE health insurance program to thousands of Reservist and National Guard members, even though 20 percent of all Reservists do not have health insurance, and 40 percent of Reservists aged 19 to 35 lack health coverage.

HR 1815 , Vote #221, 5/25/2005

You can't support our troops and Fossella.
