> 400 Disabled Veterans Raise Hell At Congressional Hearings On VA Budget

Frank; I like your spirit. You have that "I’m not going to take it anymore" in you. This is good. However, you suggested writing. I have after more than 3 years of trying to correct the VA violation of 38 USC 1722a. That is, writing to Principi, Veterans Congressional sub-committee members, Senators and Representatives who publicly voiced veterans concerns, newspapers, TV stations, columnists, I found out they don’t care. Veterans, don’t care. You probably wondering that my claim against the VA has no merit. They could have told me that 3 years ago, but did not. Nobody has told me that. I wish perhaps they would have. But like so many veterans claims, the VA will ware you down, until you die, preferably. You could do a search of ’VA violation of 38 USC 1722a’ and understand from the many listings, the dispute.
In all this time, VA Hines administrative staff has violated my Constitutional 5th, 14th and 1st amendment rights. But, what did it take to overcome this and get my case before the Veterans Board of Appeals? A letter to then incoming Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Jim Nicholson. Reluctantly, VA Hines, was forced, kicking and screaming, to deny my claim, this in order for me to appeal.
There are those few that do care, Such as ABC News, Knight Ridder Newspapers, Chicago Sun-Times, and I know there are others. But very few. I have only a few suggestions. Write only to your Congressional representatives, you are their constituent, they should listen to your concerns. Write post-cards if your message is short. This way everybody gets to see your message. Have a little rubber stamp made up, that sends a veterans message of a few lines, which I stamp on all my mail envelopes. Do something. If enough veterans can agree on an issue, perhaps emailing a congressman, in the thousands upon thousands, as to saturate and clog their website, perhaps closing it down. Maybe then they will get the message. But veterans need to clog up message boards, with their Veterans Administration problems. Veterans have to be all on the same track, and not going every which way. We have got to be one voice somehow to make changes. Because, I can see it coming, once the troops are all back home, you think the forgotten veterans have a tough time now, wait. Those in Congress will get even with us for complaining. Haiki
