Ask Sullivan why he publicly opposes them?
Bob Sullivan continues to take heat for airing what is being called a misleading attack on Congressman Ernest Istook’s record. The letter from veteran’s advocates, Alvin F. Speck and Thomas E. Cook, express concern with Sullivan’s
“position against Veterans Appropriations bill HR 2620, Roll Call #434 in 2001. You’re spending quite a bit of money on television decrying this legislation.”
The letter goes on to say,
“As veterans, we’re very concerned what your position means for us in your campaign for Governor of Oklahoma. We have risked our lives and health for America and because of that nobody in the Oklahoma delegation opposed this important legislation.”
“Given these facts please stop using the support of veterans as a reason to attack your political opponents and immediately apologize for your actions. It is shameful and unbecoming of someone who wants to govern the state to use the support of veterans of this country in the manor that you have chosen.”
The
Oklahoma Political News Service will continue to follow the story.
