Veterans plan to exact action at polls

At least groups are starting to realize the lies comming from this Republican controlled Congress.

GOP-led House reneges on pledge to pass $3.2 billion for VA medical care

By Dennis Camire / Gannett News Service

WASHINGTON -- Veterans are condemning House Republicans' failure to deliver a $3.2 billion boost for the Veterans Affairs Department that would have shrunk the agency's waiting list for medical care.

"A shameless betrayal" is how AMVETS sums it up.

"A moral outrage," the American Legion said.

"Abominable" is the word from the Non Commissioned Officers Association

1. Let's just wait and see what happens when the veterans

and the Gray Panthers get into the voting booth.

I hear the sound of a one-term president being nailed into his coffin!

2. So how do we get them active?

I bet most of the groups you mentioned don't give endorsements, but it would be worth persuing.
