Larry Kissell picks big gov’t spending over Fort Bragg

Today, Larry Kissell voted against a measure to stop devastating budget cuts that would affect our military and military personnel like those at Fort Bragg. Kissell voted to allow these military cuts that, as Defense Secretary Panetta said, would be “devastating” and “terribly weaken” our national security in order to keep big-government spending programs like ObamaCare.

Thirty one military service and veterans organizations urged Congress this week to save America’s Armed Forces from the “catastrophic impact that sequestration would have on the defense budget and future national security” – yet Kissell ignored their voices.

As you cover Kissell’s decision to vote against efforts to replace dangerous and arbitrary defense cuts with common-sense spending reforms, consider the following quote:

NRCC Comment: “Today Larry Kissell chose big-government spending programs like ObamaCare over Fort Bragg military families and veterans. Our military is facing devastating cuts that could be stopped and replaced with common-sense reforms but Larry Kissell wouldn’t look past partisan politics to protect our troops.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
