Thank you Senator McCain / Senator Kyl for endorsing Richard Carmona in the Senate Confirmation Hearing (Video)

Thank you Senator McCain and Senator Kyl for endorsing Richard Carmona in the Senate Confirmation Hearing.  This is precisely why I am supporting

Veterans for Carmona! Because Carmona is a veteran, too, who served our Nation and put his own life on the line for this great Country.

Richard Carmona as our next U.S. Senator.  Thank you Congressman Jeff Flake for your service in your many years as a Representative, but you have served us  long enough, and we don’t support career politicians.  At one point you also agreed with term limits, and we hope you understand why many of us still believe in term limits.  Career politicians simply lose touch with the average and ordinary American, and please understand and know that when you voted against youth and students via the DREAM Act — you broke our hearts.  Now… it is time for a fresh perspective … and a man who will lead at the Hill with an independent mindset.  We cannot afford to succumb to tea party extremism anymore because it is time for our Nation to heal and work in a bipartisanship fashion.

Richard Carmona served our Armed Forces and was willing to put his life on the line for our Nation.  Carmona has our Nation’s best interest.

Kyl:  “His unique background will serve him well and serve us well on the war on terror.”

McCain: “Our nation will gain an invaluable leader.”

Below is the Senate Confirmation Hearings where both McCain and Kyl supported Carmoan during.
