Vet suicide prevention program faces big cuts

CONCORD, N.H. — A nationally recognized suicide prevention program for soldiers may take a financial hit because of New Hampshire’s severe budget crunch.
Gov. John Lynch has proposed cutting state funding for the Connect-Frameworks Suicide Prevention Program, which helps the New Hampshire National Guard provide mental health support to soldiers and their families.
State health officials are trying to restore some of the funding, but program director Kenneth Norton says any cut would hurt training efforts.
Since 2005 the program has trained more than 4,000 police officers, educators and mental health workers in suicide prevention for young adults. It started working with the National Guard last year.
Their entire life depends on whether a Republican did it (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3793582)

4. This is not the change I voted for
Cutting Vet's programs or any civilian programs that aid the people during this time of great need is unacceptable.

Alert
DUmmies, you're behind the times. Now that Obama is in the White House, our soldiers are no longer a precious box of kittens that need to be protected from George W. Bush. Instead, they're just plain old babykillers again.
How else do you explain Democrat shit like this, along with Obama's idea to make vets pay for their own healthcare?

FFS, They lie like rugs when it comes to the troops. If the troops are not against the war then they have no use for them.

Oh, I dunno.
I'm sure the primitives will be blaming Republicans until the primitives die.
As the facts filter into their primitive minds, while it causes a temporary discombobulation, time and drugs will bring them around again.
