Vet Voice:

Veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are launching a new television ad campaign, both nationally and in a number of states, aimed at getting the Senate to pass a clean energy and climate bill. The ad, from VoteVets.org, coincides with a growing movement by veterans and security groups making a push on Capitol Hill to get a bill passed and on to the President for his signature.
