The Senate passes the 21st Century GI Bill with 70 "Yea" votes - including Senator-in-trouble Ted Stevens

Per an email from Paul Reikoff, founder and President of IAVA:

Today marked another historic vote on the GI Bill. After last week's remarkable victory in the House of Representatives, today the bill passed the Senate by an overwhelming vote of 75-22. Click here to see who voted for it and who voted against it.

Senator Stevens saw the polls...and knew he couldn't vote against it. But what will he do next?

The GI Bill now has one final hurdle to pass: the President's signature. In this crucial stage, let's make IAVA's voice even stronger and make sure the President signs this bill into law.

President Bush has said he will veto the legislation and his bestest buddy, John McCain, will be by his side.

Will Ted Stevens help overturn the veto?
