This is the next slap at our returning vets.
Our
Government does nothing but give to all the illegal aliens and keeps
boarder agents in prison illegally because of trumped up charges from a
drug dealer and an over zealous federal prosecutor.New Homeless Vets | | Posted by Shari at 3:12 PM - | |

Survey of Vietnam amputees - PLUS info sites
Received an e-mail this AM.
Our County Veteran Service Officer in South Dakota has informed me that
the VA is conducting a survey of veterans who suffered an amputation in
Vietnam, to improve their service to the veterans.
Data can be secured at http://www.vietnamwaramputee.org/
for an application for survey enrollment. (Phone) 866-283-2599.
Now I am not sure how they, our enemy Veterans Affairs, would use this
data so go cautiously. I would like all to pass this on. Since
Vietnam Veterans experienced not only the ravages of war but also the
life long ravages of herbicide exposures, many which were amputees
might not be with us. Any widow of Vietnam Vet that was an amputee not
longer with us; I would think it would be prudent for them to either
call or talk to Ohio State with details on the quality of life and
treatment of their amputee spouse.
Also received this from Dale:
I started my website http://www.veteransvoteyourcause.com/ to try and
get veterans to become aware of what their politicians and reps are
doing. Not just, what they are saying. I also try and post
information pertaining to AO exposure in SEA. I don’t know how it
could be organized but a viable veterans party would have to be
reckoned with.

Veterans Party in my opinion is not viable for many reasons unless it
is only regarding Veterans Issues and maybe some “generic” National
issues. While other party members seemed to either be democrat or
republican and do not believe in all that either party stands for they
declare and vote as a party. Veterans have a tendency not to leave the
republican or democratic party even though they do not believe in
everything the party stands for. For Veterans and their families after
going through the failed Veterans Party it would be easier to
concentrate fire on only Veteran and spouse issues in a Veterans Union.
Again, I have no idea on how to do this but I know I wasted too much
time and money on the Veterans Party that ended up fractured to death
because everyone wanted a different agenda in everything else - that
did not involve “on target” Veterans and Spouse Issues that only voting
numbers can demand congress do something or they will no longer be
there. If that requires a Veteran breaking ranks with this two party
system and voting for the “appropriate candidate” and not the “party
candidate,” then that is what has to happen or nothing in congress will
get done. Veterans probably will have to become “independent political
philosophy” as a minimum.
In our discussion with the touted Veterans Lawyer from Michigan on SVR
Radio, when I asked how do we get these unconstitutional issues
resolved and the rules and performance fixed – his answer was that only
Congress could fix these issues.
So far as we have seen, they are very reluctant to do much of anything.
Mostly because they support the person in the executive office who is
also not going to do anything, not whether it is right or wrong. Many
of them presently still serving actually were behind setting up this
present totally biased legal system that for all intensive purposes can
do pretty much what it is they want to do for the executive branch and
budget control - not for the benefit of the Veterans.
When the head of the Veterans Affairs Committee in the house refers to
the Veterans Affairs as the “Veterans Adversary” then that about says
it all. We need to get him some support to fix these issues. One,
two, or even five congresspersons stand little chance alone.
I would think the first order of business would be to make sure those
in the house (every two years) in the different states who have done us
wrong would be the first not to be reelected and make sure they know
that Veterans and their families were the ones responsible to kick
their asses out.
Senator Craig says he is not running again but if he did, he should be
at least one at senate level that should be gone. Although, he did
have me fooled on what he was proposing in some cases. However, we
must remember that these House and Senate folks submit stuff for bills
and such they already know have no way of even getting traction. Yet,
they are all ready for the photo ops of what they are doing, when they
know it is bogus.
Steve Buyer of Indiana, former Chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee
has fought everything that we have tried to get done. As you may
remember, he was put in to replace Congressman Chris Smith of New
Jersey who had broken ranks with “the establishment” on many Veterans
Issues. He was punished by the republicans and replaced with
Congressman Buyer.
Congressman Lane Evans stood alone on many of these issues and I for
one am sorry to see him gone and hope he is doing well with his health
issues that forced him out.
Also there is little coming out of these presidential candidates
regarding specific issues other than we must support our returning
veterans. How many times have we heard those generic non-defined -
non-specific propaganda retorts.

Did you not pay attention to the fact that the Dothan AL Clinic don't
do test
ether? But because of my service connected back injuries I didn't have
to go all
the 120 miles to the VA hospital in Montgomery, AL for this same test.
A valid
reason means you must show me a Dept of Veteran Affairs regulation
against this.
With medical records from South East AL Medical Center. And dental
records from
Dr Keatons dental office in Dothan AL. I don't think you can show me a
regulation against travel limitations created by a service connected
disability. If I was coming to be admitted it would be a different
story. But
three motels, four days travel, for a 1/2 hr test. Makes no sense,
show me the
regulation
Response (Department of Veterans Affairs) 01/17/2008 11:59 AM
We at Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System apologize for any
inconvenience you
are having concerning specialized studies i.e. CT Scans. The Biloxi
facility
(which is a hospital, not a clinic) is the only place where CT Scans
are offered
to the veterans registered for care at Biloxi, Mobile and Pensacola.
MRIs on the
other hand, are fee' d out to the community. CT Scans and MRIs are two
totally
different tests.

SHERIFF
JOE IS AT IT AGAIN
Maricopa
County
was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like
cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over,
and the County Supervisors said okay. The animal shelters are now all
staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the
strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice
daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition
and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to
adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the
street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog
shows. The best part? His budget for the entire department is
now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a Weimaraner from a
Maricopa County shelter two years ago. He was neutered, and
current on all shots, in great health, and even had a microchip
inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.
The
prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most
would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day.
Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc.
He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted
animals. I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take
a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas.
He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can
work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing
all the work and harvesting by hand. He has a pretty good sized
hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer. It fertilizes the
Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living
Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later.
We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.
Yup,
he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote. Now he's in trouble
with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with
a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where
you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40
deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started
up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to
the border. He's kind of a "Git-R Dun" kind of Sheriff.
Update
on Joe Arpaio
TO
THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO
HE IS THE MARICOPA
ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF
AND HE KEEPS GETTING
ELECTED OVER AND OVER
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:
Sheriff
Joe Arpaio
(In Arizona)
Who created the
"Tent City Jail":
He has jail
meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away
their weights Cut off all but "G" movies.
He started
chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city
projects.
Then He Started
Chain Gangs For Women
So He Wouldn't
Get
Sued
For
Discrimination.
He took away cable TV Until
he found out
there was A Federal
Court Order
That
Required Cable TV For Jails
So He Hooked Up The Cable TV
Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The
Weather Channel.
When asked why the weather channel
He Replied,
So They Will
Know
How Hot It's
Gonna Be
While
They Are Working
ON My Chain Gangs.
He Cut Off
Coffee
Since It Has
Zero Nutritional
Value.
When the inmates complained, he told them,
"This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton......If You Don't Like It,
Don't Come Back."
He
bought Newt Gingrich's lecture series on videotape that he pipes into
the jails.
When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture
series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series
might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first
place.
More
On The Arizona Sheriff:
With Temperatures Being Even Hotter
Than Usual In
Phoenix
(116 Degrees
Just Set A New Record),
The Associated Press Reports:
About 2,000 Inmates
Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment
At The
Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given
Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued
Pink Boxer Shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either
curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which
reached
138 Degrees
Inside The Week Before.
Many Were
Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests
And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS.
"It Feels Like We Are In
A Furnace,"
Said
James Zanzot,
An
Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year.
"It's Inhumane."
Joe
Arpaio,
the
tough-guy sheriff
who created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is
not one bit sympathetic
He said Wednesday that he told all of the
inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And
Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents
Too,
And They
Have To
Wear
Full Battle Gear,
But
They Didn't Commit Any
Crimes,
So
Shut Your Damned Mouths!"
Way To Go,
Sheriff!
Maybe if all
prisons were like this one
there would be a lot less crime and/or
repeat offenders.
Criminals should be punished for their
crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to
go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on
taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for
themselves.
If you agree, pass this on. If not, just delete
it.
Sheriff
Joe
was just
reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County,
Arizona.

I want to let people in on a trap or rather a vicious cycle that you can fall into.
I am talking about a web site that is linked to paypal.com.
PayPal will give you a 500.00 credit to work with and bidz.com is a feeding frenzy that will cause a person to get caught up in what I call a gambling ring.
A person can easily fall pray to bidding on worthless junk, but once in a great while a good piece of jewelry or electronics will come your way on bidz.com. Once you use up your $500.00 Paypal will let you have a credit card with a $2000.00 limit.
You easily use that limit up and then you start dipping into joint accounts, using debit cards all in the name of you got to have this.
Please people be aware of this pitfall.
You can send things back to bidz.com, but you do not get all the refund because you are soaked with outlandish shipping charges and you never get those back.
I will be paying for this for the rest of my life,another thing that just about happened to me was I almost ended my marriage all for the so called having to have those items.
Please people do not fall into this trap like I did.
