I support:

·     Mandatory VA Funding.

·     Abolishing the Feres Docrtine so Veterans can

       redress  their grievances in a Court of Law like all other

       American citizens.

·     Legislation to raise VA compensation and survivor

       benefits.

·     Abolishing the Disabled Veterans and Widows Tax.

       This is nothing more than a tax placed on military

       personnel that other Americans do not have to pay.

·     Full concurrent receipt. Presently Air Force and Navy

       personnel receive a disability rating 30% higher than

       Army or Marine personnel. There should be one

       standard whereby all military personnel receive

       compensation.

·     Senate bill 6644 which, “…prohibits DOD from giving

       General Personality Discharges to troops with PTSD

       and Traumatic Brain Injury.” These troops receive a

       ‘General Discharge’ and therefore are not even

       authorized VA care or benefits.

·     Demanding the VA stop experiments on Veterans.

       Example: SHAD testing and Project 112.

I will not support the Republican mantra that “…the cost of supporting the widows and wounded warriors is hurtful to the National Security.”
