[allan]

Pass this on http://www.change.org/ideas/view/a_fully-f..._administration Go to web site and vote..for A FULLY-FUNDED Veterans Administration! they will require you to sign in, then they will end you an email for you toclick on and confirm.. then click on vote.. would like over a 1000 votes in next few days.. pass it on A FULLY-FUNDED Veterans Administration! The veterans administration needs to be fully-funded. Just as the Social Security administration is fully-funded. We need to END the delay/deny tactics of the V.A. and award to veterans what is due them. These men and women put their lives in extreme jeopardy so that ALL of us have freedom and things like CHANGE.ORG might exist.

Without veterans this country ceases to be!

"History is littered with governments destabilized by masses of veterans who believed that

they had been taken for fools by a society that grew rich and fat at the expense of their

hardship and suffering." Anthony J. Principi, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs

Oddly obsolete, but the cornerstone of the VA..."To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan."

Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1865

IMHO..."Passing laws awarding punitive damages when appropriate, and an active "VA employee Orange Jump Suit Program" would do wonders to bring about change in the VA system... Commander Bob, Dec. 23, 2008

If we even got interest on retro that would be a wonder! The VA denies and delays a valid claim for years and then gets off just paying what they owe. That is not the way the wonderful capitalistic system works. If you owe money you have to pay interest.

Interest added to the back pay, would help to deter the VA from a "deny til you die" claims process. I think the orange jump suits would fit quite a few employees & look good on them too. There's a few of their Dr's you might want to include.

If congress and the Prez can make a gift of 300 billion dollars to banks and Wall Street gangsters they can surely take care of vets. They just don't want to because they don't have motivation to do it. In the world of politics motivation means votes and money, or fear.
