The Clay Hunt SAV Act is an important piece of legislation aimed at reversing the trend of veteran suicide. One Senator alone has blocked the passage of this bill through Unanimous Consent. His argument? The total cost of $22 Million over 5 years! With 22 veterans dying by suicide each and every day, $22 Million in terms of the Federal Budget is a drop in the bucket. If you disagree with Senator Coburn, please contact his office at [login to see] . Thank you!

SSG Zach McIlwain, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will be calling his office. This is pitiful.
Turns out he's retiring at the end of this year, but it's still pitiful. I read another article (at military.com) that said Senator Coburn has been known as "Dr. No" because he does these sorts of things (stops bills) frequently.
