Loyalty???

Tennessee, the Volunteer State, is represented in the Senate by Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, two Senators who are an embarrassment to the traditions of Tennessee.  When it was time for a cloture vote to allow the Senate to vote to fund a program to help military veterans get jobs following their time in service, a volunteer time, by the way, neither Alexander or Corker stepped up.  Making matters even worse was Senate legislation that would give cost of living increases to surviving members of families of those killed in the volunteer military service of the country and provide cost of living increases to those disabled as a result of their volunteer service to the country.  Once again, Alexander and Corker remained silent allowing an unnamed Senator to block this legislation.  Again, this is an embarrassment to all citizens of the Volunteer State and the loyalty to McConnell rather than the citizens of Tennessee should be remembered when it comes time to vote for Alexander, Corker, or any other Republican seeking political office.  We need representatives in the Senate and in Congress that represent the interests of Tennesseans, not the interests or political ambition of a Kentucky Senator.
