Sen. Ron Johnson's shameful votes

http://www.democraticunderground.com/108411901

In a recent public opinion poll, 40% of Wisconsinites reported not knowing who Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is after four years in office. For those still wondering, Johnson's recent votes opposing bipartisan legislation to help provide military veterans with health care and turning his back on common-sense relief for over 800,000 Wisconsin student loan borrowers went a long way in revealing his true self and his priorities.

Improving health care for our military veterans should be an issue that everyone can agree on. A bill passed by the U.S. Senate on June 11 would help veterans receive needed care in a timely manner by allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to contract with private medical facilities. Johnson was one of only three senators to vote against it.
