Kay Hagan actually said...

"I supported the recent budget after I heard from top military leadership in North Carolina's military community about the urgent need to halt sequestration of our defense budget."

"We cannot balance the budget on the backs of those who have answered the call of duty."

"If allowed to continue, sequestration will drastically reduce future military readiness and actually jeopardize the national security of our country."

"I feel strongly that the recent COLA cuts need to be repealed, as I said earlier."
