DOMESTIC 'SLUMLORDING PETITION' INVOLVES DISABLED VETS OR VETS. Saturday, 2:19 PM

I have started an online petition "Stop Slumlords now petition" here.  Recently a notorious Slumlord named Milan Properties Amy Rubenstein and Milan Puscovic Rubenstein caused the death of a Korean War Vet. Slumlords like to target vulnurables such as middle class workers, disabled, seniors, ethnic minorities or just plain teens who do not know their rights yet. Their criminal conduct horrendous and they have kept getting off the hook on accountability. This petition can be reviewed and signed here:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-slumlords-from-perpetrating-crimes-to-victims

The same thing somewhat went on at the Vet's hospital and until people complained and brought major attention to it the government got off of taking care of the place! The health conditions were atrocious while mold and mildew can and does cause illness. Vets need responsible and caring living conditions when they come home and not to live in slumlord conditions under constant threat or duress. They need honest good hearted people, clean surroundings, healthy conditions with kind understanding people to recover or heal if they can from any form of trauma!

Please feel free to use this petition in any of your own individual cases and to show your local authorities such as your local housing authority official, health dept official, asbestos, lead, and pool dept. official, judge, commissioner, attorney, and neighbors or freinds.

Administration Proposed Legislation = A Promise Made IS NOT A Promise Kept

Apparently "A Promise Made IS NOT A Promise Kept!"

Take Action!

Oppose the President's Plan to Replace VA Disability with Social Security 

Please send the following message to the President Bush, V Pres Cheney, your two Senators and one Representative --

What happened to President Bush’s promise to the military and our veterans of “A promise made is a promise kept?”

As a 100% combat disabled veteran, I am very much concerned about the Bush Administration’s preparation of new legislation to be incorporated into the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act that would establish a separate and, under most circumstances, a more generous disability package for service members disabled in war or while training for war.

Under the plan, as recommended by the President’s Commission on Care of America’s Returning Wounded Warriors, a.k.a.Dole-Shalala commission, those service members found unfit for duty due to combat related disabilities would be medically retired by the DoD based on 2.5% per year served multiplied by base pay.   The VA would provide disability compensation without offset for receipt of retired pay.  Such members would qualify for lifetime access TRICARE.

On the other hand, those determined unfit for military service due to non-combat related injuries would be inequitably treated under the current patchwork system of title 10 US Code Chapter 61where percentage awards are based only on the disqualifying disability and with military retirement pay offset by VA compensation.  Those rated below 30% disability would be separated with severance pay in lieu of retirement pay and would not qualify for TRICARE.

However, there is a new wrinkle:  The President proposes that when disabled service members reach age 65, that the VA disability compensation will be terminated and the service member will draw the reduced Social Security Benefit.  This proposal has two major flaws --

1.  Unless something is done very soon, because of decades of bad accounting practices, the Social Security Trust Fund is projected to go bankrupt in 30 years.  What does the President plan do about the Social Security crisis?  The President’s plan transfers the disabled veteran to a rapidly sinking ship without a life jacket.   FIX SOCIAL SECURITY FIRST!

2.  What of the disabled service member who has less than 10 years Social Security earnings?  As I recall, those with less than 10 years earning receive NO BENEFIT!  There are already laws in place that reduce the Social Security Benefits for having less than 30 years of Social Security Earnings … The Windfall Elimination Provision is one of these laws.

The President’s proposal runs counter to the already published findings of the Dole-Shalala commission, and to the preliminary findings of the Veterans’ Disability Benefits Commission, both recommend more consistent and equitable treatment of service members disabled in the service of our great country.

Therefore, I urge you to oppose any reduction of disability compensation now paid to disabled service members.  I urge you to vote against any inclusion of such legislation into the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.  I urge you to enjoin your colleagues to do the same.

Please advise me of your intentions.

S 713 = Dignity for Wounded Warriors Act
Provides Many Needed Reforms

I urge you to cosponsor and actively support S. 713, the Dignity for Wounded Warriors Act, introduced on February 28, by Senator Barack Obama. This rather comprehensive bill would provide for improvements in six areas.

A few weeks ago we asked our patriotic supporters which issue they thought was most important to our troops and veterans.

Thousands of concerned citizens spoke… and we listened!

Over 63% of those who responded to the 2007 Help Our Heroes Survey said that reducing the extended waits for VA medical care should be Congress’ top priority for our veterans in 2007.

Help Protect our Veterans! Sign the 2007 Help Our Heroes Petition.

Click here to add your name now.

Help us reach 20,000 signatures by March 6th!

The VA backlog is at an all time high - over 800,000 cases - which means extended waits for healthcare and benefits. We can’t stand by and let our newest veterans struggle to survive after they leave the battlefield. Those 800,000 cases represent real people -- veterans who’ve served our country and their families -- who need our help and are not getting it.

We need to reduce the VA backlog and extended waits for healthcare NOW.That’s why we are conducting the 2007 Help Our Heroes Petition. Now is the time to remind our leaders in Washington to keep their promises to care for our troops and veterans on the battlefield and when they return.

Please add your name now. The more signatures we have, the more powerful the message we will be sending our leaders.

Add My Name

We want to deliver the petition to our leaders on March 20th, the 4th Anniversary of the war in Iraq, so we need all signatures by March 6th.

Let’s honor the sacrifice of our troops and veterans by holding our leaders to the promise they made to our defenders. The promise to care for them and their families in return for their brave service.

Please sign the petition today!

Our goal is to gather 20,000 signatures so please forward this email to your family, friends and co-workers. Ask them to join you in demanding veterans' issues are a top priority in 2007.

Forward to a Friend

Thank you for supporting our troops and veterans.
