      Mr Warner, what are you doing to get the answers to Benghazi? I think the voters in Virginia need answers. Was it because the budgets were cut to deep? Was it because we failed to act? We want answers!

      Dear Senator, I am a resident of Virginia and the father of a two year old son with Down syndrome. My wife and I are doing everything we can to ensure that our son becomes a valued and contributing member of society. His condition and outlook makes him unique in this country and I'd like you to consider leveling the playing field for us and for him as we save for his future. I am contacting you about the ABLE Act. The ABLE Act (S. 1872/HR 3423) currently has 240 cosponsors in the House and 40 in the Senate. This bipartisan bill was introduced by Senators Casey (D-PA) and Richard Burr (R-NC) as S. 1872 and Representatives Crenshaw (R-FL), McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), and Van Hollen (D-MD) as H.R. 3423. The ABLE Act would allow people with disabilities to save for disability-related expenses without risking much needed federal benefits such as Social Security and Medicaid funded long term support services. The ABLE Act will give individuals with disabilities and their families the ability to fund disability related expenses including medical and dental care, education, community based supports, employment training, assistive technology, housing, and transportation. This account would also enable people to save without losing benefits provided through private insurances, the Medicaid program, the supplemental security income program, the beneficiary's employment, and other sources. The ABLE Act gives individuals with disabilities the same types of flexible savings tools that all other Americans have through college savings accounts, health savings accounts, and individual retirement accounts. If you are interested in signing on as a cosponsor, please contact: Sen.Casey/Jennifer McCloskey We are only asking for a way to save, that already exists for parents with typical children. Thank you, Daniel Sheire

    "And any reasonable person who's looked at this issue - business leaders, others - have said you've got to generate some additional revenues, you've got to make our entitlement programs sustainable for the long haul, and you're going to have to cut back on some additional government spending." -Senator Warner on NPR yesterday (staff)

    Virginia Task Force 2 Urban Search and Rescue Team deployed last night from Virginia Beach to New York, and will be heading out into the field to begin searches in Jamaica, NY. We are fortunate to have such amazing first responders, and providing help to others less fortunate is truly the Virginia way.

    Incredibly proud to hear that the Virginia National Guard rescued 8 people on the Eastern Shore from high water yesterday. Thanks to all of our first responders for their hard work and dedication before, during and after Hurricane Sandy.
    Virginia Guard Soldiers rescue stranded citizens in the Eastern Shore area

    ety at two locations on Cattail Road in the Mears, Va. area Oct. 30. The rescue mission took place two days after another high water transport required carrying a citizen who was unable to walk more than 200 yards through chest-high water. Virginia State Police had asked the Soldiers to conduct health and welfare checks at two locations they had not been able to reach. At the first location, the Soldiers had to cut through trees to enable their medium tactical truck access to the house where a family of five, including a young child, needed assistance to leave their house that was surrounded by high water. At the second location, Soldiers had to trudge through two miles of high water, cutting trees as they went, but unable to get their truck to the house where a husband and wife needed evacuation. Using the family's boat, the Soldiers guided them about half a mile through the high water, then walked the rest of the way to the truck for evacuation. Both groups were evacuated to family members whose homes were not threatened by high water. (Photo by Command Sgt. Maj. Dennis Green, Virginia National Guard)
