I am writing to express my concerns about the VA healthcare system.<br /><br />As you know our nation is losing twenty-two (22) veterans everyday to suicide. We are losing untold hundreds due to incompetence of the Veterans Affairs healthcare system. Much has been said about this nationally. Congress seemed to act quickly with the Veteran’s choice card issued under the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act. However, it is anything but a choice. Veterans are now finding out they cannot choose a doctor; they have little choice as to when their appointment is to be. Veterans are not being paid for mileage as is required by law. Many of the appointments are many miles beyond the absurd distances they are required to drive already to get care. An increasing number of vets are not getting any care under this new system because there are no doctors “signed up” or “in the system”. Vets are still waiting because the VA still has to first diagnose a “need” then try for month to fill the appointment. Moreover, to add insult to what is great injury, veterans are having to pay for the appointments as the VA is delaying payment to the provider, and the vet is made responsible for the VA’s nonpayment. Veterans are finding out there are far too many hoops to jump through for this new program to be in anyway effective. But then that was the point wasn't it? The Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act was a political ploy to make the American people think our leadership cares for America’s veterans. It is clear you do not. The VA is spending millions of healthcare dollars on advertising and website development to convince the American people they care about vets. It is clear you do not. This letter is not to tell you how I want you to vote or act as my elected representative. It is a demand. I am demanding you, this day, draft legislation to give American veterans a healthcare account that they may buy their own health care insurance with. The VA hospital system is out of date, out of touch and out of control. It would take hundreds of years to fix the VA and many thousands of American veterans will die waiting for you to fulfill the commitment we as a nation agreed to. It cost the United States approximately $750-$900 to cover a veteran under the current VA hospital system. Those numbers are most likely much higher. Create legislation that will put this money into an account, much like the VA education funds, and let vets buy their own healthcare. Place no restrictions on it save that they can only spend the funds on health insurance, i.e. HMOs or PPOs. Also allow insurance companies to cover and entire family if they can as a way to be competitive. Many families do not pay as much to cover all of their members as the VA spends to cover just one vet. Let them have the whole $750-$900. The current chain of VA hospitals can bid for these funds like any other healthcare provider. After all if VA healthcare is so much better than civilian health care as they say, then vets will overwhelmingly choose the VA hospital system. Give them real choice; give them real healthcare, now!<br /><br />Name:<br />Credentials: (Teacher, businessman, administrator, parent, etc.) Address:<br />Phone Number:<br />Email:<br /><br />Respectively, (Your Name)</span></p></div>The New Veterans Army.https://patriotcommandcenter.org/profiles/blogs/the-new-veterans-army2015-01-20T02:46:37.000Z2015-01-20T02:46:37.000ZAndy B.

Since that time I have had seven surgeries and have been taking over eleven different types of meds . I will not lie. The VA has saved my life many times. My heart is broken from hearing about the VA in Phoenix where I have been treated since I moved to Phoenix in 2000. Prior to that the VA in Long Beach. I have been angry with the treatment of Vets at the VA in Phoenix,especially Viet Nam vets suffering from agent orange and mental trauma. That is right . Even now after over all these years since the war ended we still suffer. The Phoenix VA police have been called many times because of me questioning the treatment of my fellow vets. Many of you have stories of your own that make you angry inside. In closing, I do not have the strength to tell everything I have seen personally, it will just depress me more. For me this intolerable administration must be brought down before they kill every vet they can. I still remember the day I arrived at the airport. No one was there, not even my family.</p></div>Obama ‘madder than hell’ over VA scandal, aide sayshttps://patriotcommandcenter.org/profiles/blogs/obama-madder-than-hell-over-va-scandal-aide-says2014-05-18T20:15:46.000Z2014-05-18T20:15:46.000ZAdmin Deehttps://patriotcommandcenter.org/members/AdminDee<div><p><img src="http://votingamericanblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/obama-scandals.jpg" class="align-center" alt="obama-scandals.jpg" /></p>
<p>The White House chief of staff said Sunday that President Obama is “madder than hell” about reports that dozens of veterans died due to preventable delays at the <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-veterans-affairs/">Department of Veterans Affairs</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/denis-mcdonough-obama-is-madder-than-hell-about-va-scandal/" target="_blank">Appearing on</a> CBS’ “Face the Nation,” <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/denis-mcdonough/">Denis McDonough</a> said the president is demanding that Veterans Affairs Secretary <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/eric-shinseki/">Eric Shinseki</a> and others in the administration “continue to fix these things until they’re functioning the way that our veterans believe they should.”</p>

<p>“The president is madder than hell. I’ve got the scars to prove it,” he added.</p>
<p>The VA is investigating scheduling practices at its hospitals as part of a nationwide audit after rumors surfaced that a secret electronic wait list showed information from veterans that was entered into computers at a Phoenix VA facility but never saved. Dozens of veterans reportedly died while waiting on the fake lists.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/department-of-veterans-affairs/">department</a>’s secretary, <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/eric-shinseki/">Eric Shinseki</a>, resigned on Friday, just one day after lawmakers called for more accountability.</p>

These soldiers were killed following his orders.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-5">Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, “I cannot conceive of any other president in our history doing what Obama is doing in this situation. As Commander in Chief, he signed the orders sending these young men into harm’s way. They died following his orders. Now he is denying their families the military’s “death gratuity” normally given within 3 days of the death, which covers funeral expenses and travel to Dover Air Force Base to receive the flag draped casket that holds their fallen hero. President Obama is callously adding to the unimaginable grief and the heavy burden these surviving loved ones carrying just to score some political points.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-5">Thompson continued, “The generals in the Pentagon and the combat general in the field also share in the moral responsibility to our troops. How could they allow this to happen?”</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-5">The recently passed <strong>Pay Our Military Act should allow for these death gratuity payments. </strong> If the lawyers in the Obama administration say otherwise, Congress must act to quickly overturn this outrageous injustice to our fallen warriors. See if he will veto the bill. Or <strong>he could issue his oft-used Executive Order as Commander in Chief to allow those payments.”</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-5">This is the latest optic in the “make it painful policy” his administration is using in his battle with Republicans over the government shutdown.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-5">Sadly, this isn’t the first time the Obama Administration has played politics with the lives of those serving our Nation. Obama and his administration already showed total disregard for the WWII Veterans attempting to visit the WWII Memorial.</span></p><p><span><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-5">In Benghazi, for the sake of Obama’s re-election rhetoric, the Obama Administration issued “stand down” orders, offered no intervention and no reinforcements; actions that resulted in the death of 4 Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens and 2 former Navy SEALS. A year later, the administration is still wrapped up in the politics of that incident.</span></span></p></div>The Ghost of Ronald Reaganhttps://patriotcommandcenter.org/profiles/blogs/the-ghost-of-ronald-reagan2013-10-05T22:29:21.000Z2013-10-05T22:29:21.000Zmy911https://patriotcommandcenter.org/members/my911<div><p>This is short, but to the point</p><p></p><p><b><u>The shutdown....</u></b></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-4" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#ff0000;"><b><u>In 1987 President Reagan said....

href="http://godfatherpolitics.com/430/barack-obama-blameshifter-in-chief/">Commander-in-Chief</a> has always been reserved for the President of the United States. This dates back to our first president George Washington who was the Commander in Chief of the Revolutionary Army that gained America’s Independence.</p><p>However, it seems that the title is now being passed on to the person controlling the current president.</p><p>Billionaire <a href="http://godfatherpolitics.com/1158/geithner-obama-is-not-in-charge/">George Soros</a> has been controlling President Obama much like a puppeteer controls his marionette by pulling the right strings to make him do what he wants. Among all of his business ventures, Soros has a financial connection to the recently developed <a href="http://godfatherpolitics.com/1126/oil-what-i-would-do-if-i-were-president/">oil</a> industry in Uganda which is estimated to be sitting on 2-6 billion barrels of crude oil.</p><p>Revenue Watch Institute, an organization that is funded by Soros, was instrumental in developing Uganda’s oil guidelines in 2008. RWI provided the grant funding for Africa Institute for Energy Governance which in turn was used to create Publish What You Pay Coalition of Uganda. PWYP’s principle task has been to help establish Uganda’s oil policies and to streamline them to help make it more transparent and promote accountability.</p><p>However, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has pretty much taken control of the country’s oil industry and has consequently disregarded the guidelines that Soros and company established</p><p>Soros also owns an outfit known as Open Society Institute. OSI is one of the three non-government entities that financially support Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect. GCRP is a military policy that is being used by some to urge Obama to take action in Uganda. OSI has a number of offices in Uganda.</p><p>Purely a coincidence I’m sure, but some of the authors and advisors for Responsibility to Protect are associated with Soros and serve on boards of other organizations with him. One of those is the National Security Council special adviser on human rights to President Obama, Samantha Powers.</p><p>Ugandan Youth Action Fund is run by Soros’ Open Society Institute. Its purpose is to “identify, inspire, and support small groups of dedicated young people who can mobilize and influence large numbers of their peers to promote open society ideals.”</p><p>Another Soros owned organization; the International Crisis Group issued a report in 2010 to Obama and key lawmakers. The ICC report states, “To the U.S. government: Deploy a team to the theatre of operations to run an intelligence platform that centralizes all operational information from the Ugandan and other armies, as well as the U.N. and civilian networks, and provides analysis to the Ugandans to better target military operations.”</p><p>Upon the urgings of master puppeteer George Soros, President Obama has sent an initial force of about 100 military advisors to Uganda. Supposedly, their purpose is to advise the country’s officials to capture or eliminate the rebel leader Joseph Kony. Kony heads the rebel force that calls themselves the Lord’s Resistance Army. He has been charged with human rights violations and is on the US list of terrorists.</p><p>So what is the real reason US military advisors are being sent to Uganda? Is it for the interest of the US or for our national security or is it to help protect Soros’ financial investments?

But a lack of kids’ books about the Vietnam War is just one motivation for bringing a dark region of our national memory to light. My experience in tailoring difficult lessons to fit the needs of young learners provides a writer’s challenge that I greatly enjoy. Taking stories of heroism during a difficult and often confusing era in American History, and drawing out those stories that teach principles such as bravery, friendship, compassion, and sacrifice, is rewarding to both me and my audience.</p><p>Book one, “Little Bird Dog and the Big Ship” is a true story about events of the last day of the Vietnam War. Code-named Operation Frequent Wind, the evacuation of refugees from South Vietnam was one of the largest humanitarian undertakings in history. Book one details a real-life adventure that took place amid enemy gunfire with chaos in the air and death in the water. In formulating my book about the escape of heroic South Vietnamese pilot Bung Ly and his family, I chose to leave in an element danger. The tale of a family escaping certain death and heading out to sea on a little airplane with nowhere to land is unavoidably suspenseful, but I was careful not to overwhelm youngsters with terrifying images. Little Bird Dog and the Big Ship ends happily with the successful escape of the Ly family amid cheers of jubilation from the crew of the U.S.S. Midway.</p><p>Book two of my series, “Saving the Vietnamese Orphans,” is about the equally dangerous mission of Operation Babylift. The compassionate directives of President Gerald R. Ford actuated by the Air Force, American Servicemen and women, several private airlines, and countless civilian volunteers, swept over three thousand orphaned Amerasian, Vietnamese, and ethnic Chinese children, out of harm’s way and into the hearts of adoptive families across the globe. </p><p>These stories showcase the goodness of Americans and the heroism of her warriors during the Vietnam Era, a time that must not be forgotten nor mythologized in cultural and historical murk.</p><p>I submitted my books to the giant retailer, Walmart. They were skeptical at first, but seeing the potential in “The Heroes of the Vietnam War: Books for Children,” Walmart has given me a remarkable opportunity. By proving that my books are important to American readers and of high interest to Vietnam veterans, and everyone else who wants the truth told about our heroes, Walmart has placed my books in a sort of competition.

For me it is a time to remember my father, a WWII veteran, his outlook on life, and the man he was to me. I never fully appreciated his sacrifice and service until serving in the military myself. I used to listen as he regaled me with his personal witness and accounts of the tragedies and triumphs he experienced and those historical moments he recalled. The events that unfolded in each narrative often chilled and puncture my very being. It was those bittersweet moments with his fellow soldiers and the circumstances that surrounded them that always gained the focus of each story - especially the very personal interactions and unifying beliefs they shared. They were truly reflective of an event and the people involved that shook the world and forever changed the course of history on an immense scale. It is to him, his memory, and the many just like him who gave their all, that I dedicate this particular day. From our very foundation as a nation, it has always been the <span>peopl</span>e who made change possible and it is the veteran who, to me, embodies the true benchmark of American ideology and purpose. I stand in awe of their achievements and the legacy of freedom they carved out for our posterity. God bless them, their heritage, and the country conceived and dedicated through them. <span>Thier</span> selfless dedication and honor gave the world a nation unlike any before, and one that is still a shining light for the downtrodden and huddled masses. God bless our nation and the providential accomplishments that were, and still are, guided by God.</p></div>An open letter to elected: Are we, as a Nation, a Constitutional Republic - or has the United States descended into tyranny?https://patriotcommandcenter.org/profiles/blogs/an-open-letter-to-elected-are-we-as-a-nation-a-constitutional2013-06-04T23:39:52.000Z2013-06-04T23:39:52.000ZAubrey Lee Masonhttps://patriotcommandcenter.org/members/AubreyLeeMason<div><p>The Honorable Congressman Smith 4 June 2013</p><p>The Honorable Senator Smith</p><p>The Honorable Senator Cruz</p><p> </p><p>Gentlemen,</p><p>There have been all kinds of accusations that Veterans who speak out against the injustices our current administration forces on Americans are simply crazed, PTSD'd conspiracy theorists....

DHS document IA-0257-09 is their basis and focus.</p><p>Why, under Congressional testimony, do you think the FBI told Congress they were not looking for these Islamic individuals who bombed Boston? Their focus was on us.... not them.</p><p>And Gentlemen - the last time I heard.... "profiling" was illegal.</p><p> </p><p>So I have a question for you. I really do not need an answer - what I want to see is action;</p><p>When, exactly, does this scenario go from being a theory of conspiracy - to a bona-fide, recognized conspiracy? How does Congress figure that out?</p><p>It seems to me - and a few million others - you have all the information and evidence you could possibly want and require. This administration was the provider.... and it's all lying openly in front of you for review.</p><p> </p><p>When Sir's, are you going to connect the dots and realize this administration is determined to remove and silence every Veteran they can, every Veteran who speaks out against the corruption, abuse of power and illegal acts this administration does? Claiming they are a terrorist...</p><p>When are you going to realize this is not a "conspiracy theory" but a very real conspiracy - one perpetrated by our own government... that same government I spent 26 years of my life serving as a Soldier.</p><p>When are you going to act and remove this administration in its entirety? This is not a partisan action... this is an issue that involves Veterans of all political affiliation and should be treated as such! This is a Constitutional issue and the rights granted every American - not just Veterans. If this administration is allow to continue their path, the next ones will certainly be Christians. There is already proof that is the direction they are headed.</p><p>And a sidebar; at some point Congress will be deemed irrelevant and you too will be removed. I pray you act before that happens.</p><p> </p><p>Respectfully,</p><p>SFC (retired) Aubrey Mason</p><p>San Antonio, Texas</p><p> </p><p>cc;</p><p>Social Media - several</p><p>Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott</p><p>The Honorable Congressman Stockman</p><p>The Honorable Senator Paul</p></div>Price for Justicehttps://patriotcommandcenter.org/profiles/blogs/price-for-justice2013-03-18T01:04:07.000Z2013-03-18T01:04:07.000ZJake Martinezhttps://patriotcommandcenter.org/members/JakeMartinez<div>Dear Fellow Patriots:The First of Many Benghazi’s!The following audio and web site reveal a gut-wrenching story of a mother’s trials and tribulations, to include death threats and a drive by shooting, while in the process of attempting to get the truth from our government surrounding her son’s mysterious death during an ambush that occurred in the Ganjgal Valley of Afghanistan in September 2009, after many requests for help that were denied by superiors (sound familiar):Audio: Price for Justice: The First Benghazi Happened In Afghanistan!-Posted on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report-On March 15, 2013:<a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/cfp-radio/2013/03/16/the-hagmann-hagma">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/cfp-radio/2013/03/16/the-hagmann-hagma</a>...PRICE FOR JUSTICE: Gold Star Mother Seeking Truth & Justice!-Posted on Priceforjustice.com-By Susan Price:<a href="https://priceforjustice.com/~pricefo2/">https://priceforjustice.com/~pricefo2/</a>Note: The following article and video provide you with Marine Sgt.

My eldest son participated in the first Gulf War as a Marine and Iraqi Freedom as a weekend warrior with the Air National Guard, which he continues to be a member of, along with being a full-time Combat Air Traffic Control Instructor. Four out of my six male siblings honorably served their country and my father was a WWII Veteran who survived the Battle of the Bulge, but lost the battle with his severe PTSD symptoms/condition at the young age of fifty-nine. I served my tenure in the Marine Corps during the entire Vietnam War and lost many a friend during that war that fought and made the ultimate sacrifice to uphold and defend those freedoms that are provided us under our “Constitution” and “Bill of Rights”, which sadly too many Americans take for granted. </p><p>I have to admit that I tend to get extremely concerned when I see politicians and others, regardless of their political affiliation, sex, race, color (in the Marine Corps we were all green), creed, ethnic/national origin or religion, doing things and/or taking actions that I see as a threat to: <strong>1)</strong> those freedoms and/or rights provided each of us under our “Constitution” and “Bill of Rights”; and <strong>2)</strong> the safety, security or welfare of our Veterans, active duty members and their dependents and/or survivors. </p><p>We Americans, all of us, owe a debt to the American who came before us, and by their military service, in which all gave some and some gave all, preserved freedom for us. We repay that debt to those Americans who came before us by our willingness serve and sacrifice as they did to preserve freedom for those Americans who will come after us. </p><p>May God bless and keep each and every American that has made the ultimate sacrifice for this great country of ours.</p><p>May God also bless and keep all our veterans and active duty members and their families on this day and always.</p><p>And may Americans never cease to remember them, and their sacrifice, for our freedom. </p><p><strong>REMEMBERING THOSE WHO DIED THAT WE MIGHT BE FREE:</strong></p><p>American Wars Killed In Action</p><p>Revolutionary War .............. 25,324</p><p>War of 1812 .......................... 2,260</p><p>Mexican American War ..... 13,283</p><p>Civil War ............................... 650,000</p><p>Spanish American War ....... 7,166</p><p>World War I ......................... 116,708</p><p>World War II ....................... 408,306</p><p>Korean War ......................... 54,246</p><p>Vietnam War ....................... 58,223</p><p>Persian Gulf War ................ 363</p><p>(Desert Storm)Operation Iraqi Freedom .. 4,421</p><p>Op.
