Rachel Maddow 'SLAMS' Republican North Carolina Senator Richard Burr because of his obstruction of confirming Tammy Duckworth to the Veterans Administrations
And Jon Soltz Speaks What Many Vets Are Saying and Thinking
His actions angered some veterans groups Friday.
"Senator Burr has had plenty of time to ask questions of her," Jon Soltz, the chairman of VoteVets.org, an organization of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, said in a statement. "Senator Burr is only hurting American veterans with this nonsense. He should stop playing petty partisan games, stop needling the White House for the sheer fun of it and grow up."
Burr still has questions about Duckworth's nomination, his office said. >>>>> Rest Here

So Contact Today, let him come to work on monday and know, as Jon said: "Grow Up Senator Burr, Grow Up!"

Thanks Jim for bringing this to our attention
I also saw that it briefly made it on the DailyKos rec list for a spell. Should have been much longer, but every bit helps.
