Script of "Cornyn On The GI Bill" (TV)

LUKE GOODRICH: When our grandparents came back from World War II, the GI bill paid for their education.

(Text on screen: Iraq War Veteran)

ALEX CORNELL DU HOUX: But in today’s economy the old bill doesn’t do enough.

(Text on screen: Iraq War Veteran)

PETER O’BRIEN: There is a new bill that would give today’s veterans what we need.

(Text on screen: Iraq and Afghanistan War Veteran)

LUKE GOODRICH: But Senator Cornyn hasn’t supported that bill. Does Cornyn think covering a fraction of our education is enough?

BRIAN MCGOUGH: We didn’t give a fraction in Iraq; we gave 100 percent.

(Text on screen: Iraq and Afghanistan War Veteran)

LUKE GOODRICH: It’s time for some straight talk. Call Sen. Cornyn, and ask him to support our troops.
