It's 8 pm PST so I am going to go ahead and guess Senator Mitch McConnell is done answering questions... I have to say that I am severely disappointed by the questions he answered.

I read through everything, and he did not once touch on veterans issues questions.

Welcome Sir! My son is 4th generation army. He is now serving in the 82nd. With all the cuts in the DOD can you assure me that the next time my son deploys he will be properly equipped to do his job? Myself, his grandfather and great grandfather served. We had the best equipment, firepower as well as an administration that had our backs. Can you explain future plans that will insure that our soldiers properly maintained as the best fighting force in the world?

Sir, when is the Senate and House going to get serious about ending sequestration and restoring military funding levels to appoint that is sufficient to support everything that the military needs to do? Also, when will the Senate and House draft an ACTUAL budget instead of a continuing resolution that reduces frivolous spending, funds necessary programs, and (most importantly) makes meaningful long-term reductions to the national debt?

Mitch I'd like to known why in 2014 you hijacked the Veterans Health and Benefits and Military Retirement Pay Restoration Act by attaching an amendment to the bill which would have levied sanctions on Iran.

To refresh your memory, this bill, proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders, was a piece of sweeping legislation that would have expanded healthcare and education for veterans. After clearing a procedural vote by a 99-0 margin, argument began over the proposed amendments, and Republican Senators took to the floor to raise concerns over the cost of the bill; it was then ultimately defeated with 41 of 45 Senate Republicans voting against the bill.

My family has served in every war since this country became a nation, I myself have served in two of them, and I'd like a valid reason to give my children as to why we, as Veteran's, are consistently screwed over by the "Grand Ole Party".

What are you doing to allow service members to carry personal concealed weapons on military installations? All the good bills are stuck in the Armed Services Committee and denied by Senator McCain.

Its time for you to retire along with the other senior Republican Leadership.

There needs to be a VA overhaul right now. I'm personally afraid to make any appointments, because I might get misdiagnosed by someone who doesn't have to care. You have done nothing about this problem up to now, or worse. What would it take for something truly meaningful to happen in the next week? There should be no excuse for delay on this, even the election races.

Sir,

Thanks for the time you set aside for the RP Community.

Question: Do you think that the Command in Chief should be a Military Veteran to be an effective President?

As a Veteran who lives in Montana and voted for Donald J. Trump. Why are you and Paul Ryan not endorsing Donald J. Trump? We the American Voters decided on who we want for President of the Republic of the United States of America not you the elitist in Washington D. C. the cesspool of this Republic. You had 17 Candidates running on the Republican ticket we the Voters decided on who we wanted and it was Donald J. Trump not some insider from Washington D. C. who is already bought and paid for by foreign Governments, Corporations or Lobbyists.

The American Voters are feed up with the lies and backroom dealings going on between the Democrats and RINO's of Congress since both parties are now one and the same. You had the House and Senate but you have not carried through on any promises your group told the Voters you would do. Instead you gave in to Obama and his lies.
One other thing I want to bring up with you. You're telling the American Voters who have worked all their lives for this Republic and paid taxes to support the Government that we have the money to "relocate" and "resettle" an undetermined number of "refugees" from the middle east. But not enough to supply our Senior Citizens who paid into it all their working days with a cost of living increase? Then Congress has the nerve to give themselves a pay raise and Obama and his wife want an increase of their money when they leave the White House. Why not make it where none of you in Congress or the White House get a raise what so ever until you produce the results this country needs. McConnell you and Paul Ryan need to wake up and smell the coffee the Americans across the Republic are feed up with your lies and want to see a change. Stop the lies now. We have no respect for people who make being a politician a career as you, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Cruz, Feinstein and others who have sold out the Constitution of the Republic and the Bill of Rights of the Republic of the United States of America. Remember incase you have forgotten the Constitution does not state: WE THE GOVERNMENT or WE THE ELITIST or WE THE CAREER POLITICIANS it states the following: We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. It states WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES....
