HR 511, Part II

As I posted here, I sent an e-mail to my representative in Congress, Jim Marshall, concerning my support for HR 511, a bill that would pledge the financial support of the House for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Well, Mr. Marshall has written back to me, and here's what he said . . .

I'm somewhat confident that he will support the bill since he is a veteran who ran in support of the war. However, all 74 co-sponsors of HR 511 are Republican(!) so we'll see. By the way this is a handy website you can use to keep track of bills in Congress. HR 511 is still in the Armed Services Committee as far as I know.
