Congresswoman Sandlin is young,
vibrant, and her voting record
is all over the place on issues
from every quarter.

She attended the Veterans Committee
meeting at the House the day the
VDBC Commission came to submit
their final report to Congress,
and actively posted a statement
then participated in the questioning
of General James Terry Scott.

She does not appear to be a "dedicated"
champion for Veterans as we normally
know it other congressionals, but
for sure, her voting record both
as a Sponsor and a Co-Sponsor puts
her in our Hall of Salutes as
she votes where her Committee is.

A handful of Bills changing the
operations of the VA agency as
well as a pile of honorary Bills
such as the one saluting the
Minnesota National Guard for being
the longest continuous deployed
unit in Iraq all do bear her
signatures.

She is a Democrat from South Dakota
and is also interested in Rural
projects for her state as well
as child and family Bills making
her way.

It remains to be seen just how
approachable she is on new Bills
for 2008 for the generalized Veterans
activist workers.
