Chair Of The House Veterans Committee Calls For The Director Of The Veterans Benefits Adminstration To Step Down.

[Capt.]

Hello All,,,,,,,Well Finally , we have someone ,,,,,Mr. Jeff Miller , Chair of the HVAC has demanded the resignation of the biggest enemy of all Veterans, Undersecretary Allison Hickey to STEP DOWN. Not since the incompetent James Nicholson was Secretary of the VA nearly 10 years ago have we seen a total collaspe of the entire Veterans Benefits System.. This should have been done a long time ago and General Shenseki should follow as well.

Anybody to replace one or both of them will be a sign of a positive move because both of these leaders have been operating in negative territory for many years. I believe Congressman Bob Filner , though no longer on the HVAC should be doing backflips with this positive step at the VA.

I believe that all Veterans should be watching closely and praying for some replacements with LEADERSHIP and able to get the ball moving again. I see a small ray of hope that each one of us must try to hold on to. NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

Although i do know a few VA folks, I don't kiss up to them. In fact when I speak with them, they know my frustration with the va system and it's leadership! I find it ironic, when the chairman of house veterans committee requests that the director of the VBA to step down. that's great, she should! How about the Secretary of Veterans Administration? Where is his request to resign? This guy is in hiding, he has other officials report for him, speak for him, where is this guy? Why can he not be summoned to the House committee of veterans affairs to answer questions on the organization he is at the helm of? Why doesn't anyone with authority speak with this guy?

I really thing that if he ever testifys before the house committee, he would lose what faith he has left.

The VA needs new leadership, I have said this so many times on here. I was even told that I was making this political. I'm not making it political, i strongly believe that if our president believed in the veterans of these united states of america, we would have a new secretary. i stronglu believ this and really don't believe that anyone is going to change my mind....

These hearings are just a bunch of dog and pony shows. These have been going on for decades. Same old arguments. Same old requests just different participants. Nothing has happened, nothing will happen. It will be status quo. These people answer to no one and that is the bottom line.

When we are dead and gone, Hadit will still be here and our successors will be typing the same things.

The powers to be do not want to change.

You sure did say it right jbasser, us Veterans must fight on knowing that it will be a one sided fight and we will not quite..

Since the American Legion went to bat for the VA and Ms Hickey, does anyone recall a guy who works for the American Legion and his last name is Hickey. He has articles in the Am Leg magazine quite often. Since I no longer belong to the American Legion I do not get a copy of the paper they put out and wonder if there is a nexus between these two Hickeys? Anyone got a past issue of the American Legion papers and could check this out? It would be interesting to know. The American Legion Hickey usually does comments on the claims processing procedures and claims results.

The should fire Alison Hickey for lying.
