There's nothing Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake hates worse than veterans - except if it's dogs. So Rep. Jeff Flake must have taken great pleasure
in casting one of only four "no" votes on Tuesday when the House passed the Veterans Dog Training Therapy Act, which provides funding
to carry out a pilot program for assessing the effectiveness of addressing post-deployment mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms through a therapeutic medium of assistance dog training and handling for veterans with disabilities.You know, training service dogs is believed to currently be helping to address symptoms associated with post-deployment mental health conditions in our vets, and this bill would expand these pilot programs. Service dogs are already helping our vets with physical disabilities, of course.
But did I forget to say that haughty veteran-hating, dog-despising Jeff Flake also has only contempt for people with disabilities? So this was a trifecta for the fanatical anti-family radical wacko who represents you, the voters of Arizona's Sixth Congressional District.
Or maybe - if you're a normal person - he doesn't, and it's time for a change.
