Stewart's speech was excellent

Hi .

Jon Stewart is everything that this country needs and deserves. Smart, well-spoken, passionate, filled with integrity and empathy and the desire to advocate for what is right. Everyone in that chamber knew he was speaking the truth, and the standing o at the end should have stung each of those congressional representatives. It's outrageous that this should even be an issue. Shame on Congress!!! These first res-ponders are heroes and should be compensated for the rest of their lives!

it amazing how politicians have no hesitation about using the fear and trauma of 9/11 to appeal to their base about "national security." And how they have no hesitation to use the first res ponders as models of heroic Americans. But no plans to help those same first res ponders cope with the health problems their efforts left them with.
That was both humbling and brutal at the same time and yet nearly brought me to tears. What The he'll where were the congress people isn't it what we pay them to do? Show up for hears listen to what the concerns of the American people.
Where were you Congress people? Out golfing with your rich donars cause I got news you when that hits the attack adds in 2020 you most likely wont be Congress people for long.

One would think that some of the long-term members of Congress would remember that, if not for 40+ souls on Flight 93 who stopped the hijackers from flying that plane into the Capitol bldg or the White House on Sept. 11th, would stop their nonsense and fully fund this now. The vote should be unanimous.
