THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Senator wasn’t asked question about stimulus

I watched the Andrew Rice and James Inhofe debate Tuesday. My question for Inhofe wasn’t asked.

I’d like to know why Inhofe voted against giving 100 percent disabled veterans a $300 rebate in the stimulus rebate package earlier this year.

This amount represents a child’s portion, and yet he voted against any extra money for the most disabled of disabled veterans. Everyone got $600 plus $300 for each child. So the U.S. Senate wanted only a child’s portion for the most disabled who gave so much for our country, and yet Inhofe wouldn’t vote for this pittance.

He is not getting my vote come November. I’m voting for that pit bull-like Democrat and former missionary Rice, who I know will help all Oklahomans.
