The American people betrayed by the
people they trusted and elected!
Thanks Mr President!
What kind of man would start a war based on
lies and deception, then betray the men and women who become disabled. Bush did this alone
with other republicans in office!
|
| Oppose S2674/HR5509 Which Discriminate Against Disabled Veterans |
Take Action! |
|
|
| Please send the following message to your elected officials
and candidates for office -- As a disabled veteran and your voting constituent,
I am most concerned with the provisions of Senator Burr's America's Wounded Warrior Act (S
2674) and Representative Buyer's Nobel Warrior Act (HR 5509), which would drastically
change the disability compensation system for America's veterans. These bills are loosely
based on the recommendations of the President's Commission on Care for America's Wounded
Warriors (Dole/Shalala Commission), but the specifics of these bills would do great harm
to these veterans in the following ways:
* Offset VA Disability Compensation by Social Security when the veteran ages
65.
* Apply to all currently discharging veterans AND any veteran under VA's
current compensation system who files a subsequent claim for additional benefits.
* Once under the new system the veteran cannot return to the current system.
* Protection for ratings in effect for 10 or more years would no longer apply.
* Would require the VA Secretary to examine or consider:
(a) "the extent to which disability compensation may be used as an
incentive to undergo treatment"
(b) "the appropriate injuries to be covered under the new
disability rating system"
(c) "age" as a determining factor when considering average
loss of earnings capacity
* Amends the law to provide the Secretary with authority to adopt and apply a
rating schedule for "specific injuries." This provision would expressly limit VA
authority over the Rating Schedule and places the authority in the hands of Congress. If
the Congress can not correct the Sustained Growth Rate formula of Medicare Law how can we
expect the Congress to do any better with the much more complex Disability Rating
Schedule?
* Provides for a quality of life payment, but only for those enrolled in the
"new" compensation system.
* Allows or suggests: That VA "may take into account the effect on
potential future earnings caused by the age of the veteran at the time a disability rating
is assigned." This provision would allow VA to compensate an older veteran at a lower
percentage of disability than a younger veteran for the exact same disease or injury. Is
this not age discrimination?
* Provides that
(a) "as frequently as [the VA] considers it appropriate, [the VA]
must reevaluate and ... adjust the disability rating for any veteran receiving
compensation;"
(b) the VA "must ... take into account any adjustments in the
rating schedule that occurred since the last assignment of a rating;"
(c) The frequency of reevaluations would be determined by an examining
physician. This places physicians back in the rating business, allows for frequent
"adjustments" to a veteran's rating based on perceived improvement, and further
allows reductions based on a change in the rating criteria even when no improvement in the
disability is shown.
For these reasons, among others, I strongly urge you to oppose S2674/HR5509 and any other
legislation which is detrimental to and/or discriminatory against this nation's veterans. |

Rob from the disabled veterans and
elderly, give to people who are to lazy to work!
Welfare Poem - oh
boy you will love this
...
I cross ocean,
poor and broke,
Take bus,
see employment folk.
Nice man treat me
good in there,
Say I need to
see welfare.
Welfare say,
'You come no more,
We send cash
right to your door.'
Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep
you healthy!
By and by,
I get plenty money,
Thanks to you,
American dummy.
Write to friends
in motherland,
Tell them 'come
fast as you can.'
They come in turbans
and Ford trucks,
I buy big house
with welfare bucks
They come here,
we live together,
More welfare checks,
it gets better!
Fourteen families,
they moving in,
But neighbor's patience
wearing thin.
Finally, white guy
moves away,
Now I buy his house,
and then I say,
'Find more aliens
for house to rent.'
And in the yard
I put a tent.
Send for family
they just trash,
But they, too,
draw the welfare cash!
Everything is
very good,
And soon we
own the neighborhood.
We have hobby
it's called breeding,
Welfare pay
for baby feeding.
Kid's need dentist?
Wife's need pills?
We get free!
We got no bills!
American's crazy!
He pay all year,
To keep welfare
running here.
We think America
darn good place!
Too darn good for
the white man race.
If they no like us, they can
scram,
Got lots of room in Pakistan ..
It is interesting that the
federal government provides a
single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00
and each can also get an additional $580.00 in social assistance for a total of$2,470.00 .
This compares very well to a single pensioner who after contributing to the growth and
development of America for 40 to 50 years can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012.00
in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!
Lets send this to all Americans, so we can all be ticked off
and maybe we can get the refugees cut back to
$1,012.00 and the pensioners up to $2,470 00 and enjoy some of the money we
were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 years.
Please forward to every American to expose what our elected politicians have been doing
over the past 11 years - to the over-taxed American.
SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW
Americans need to stand up and remove the
people from office that lied under oath to protect us and the constitution. Men and women
fight and die thinking we are keeping this nation free and politicians in secret is giving
this nation away!
Thanks to the Bush admnistration, his
father and corrupt members of congress who has betrayed the voters and this nation. It is time for the voters of this nation to stand up and remove the
corrupt politicians from office and restore american back to the foundation buit by our
founding fathers! Before you wake up one morning and you find that America is no more!
PREMEDITATED MERGER
NAFTA
Superhighway traffic tied to bridge collapse
WND
uncovers federal study warning of high risk in 1998
By Jerome R. Corsi
© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com
Evidence of increasing international trade truck traffic on Interstate 35 through
Minnesota raises concerns that NAFTA Superhighway traffic contributed to last week's
collapse of the freeway bridge in Minneapolis.
President George W. Bush, aboard Marine One, takes an aerial
survey of the Interstate 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Saturday, Aug. 4, 2007 |
WND has unearthed a Federal
Highway Administration report dating back to 1998 that warned increasing NAFTA truck
traffic was expected to create a safety concern with bridges in states along the I-35
NAFTA Superhighway, including Minnesota.
The study concluded that, "The I-35 Corridor's multimodal transportation hubs
– where air, rail, river, and truck cargo converge – make I-35 ideally
positioned to be a major route for what is expected to be increasing levels of
international trade activity."
The study warned that, "Over the next few decades, about 65 percent of I-35 will
require major upgrades, however the entire route will have a continued need for
rehabilitating pavements, resurfacing sections of the highway, and providing replacements
of some bridge decks. Bridge substructures and superstructures will also need to be
maintained, requiring repairs to maintain the integrity of the bridges."
The FHWA
study was conducted in conjunction with the Departments of Transportation in Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota, and assessed I-35 from Laredo, Texas, to
Duluth, Minn.
A comprehensive study of freight traffic conducted by the Federal Highway
Administration, or FHWA, shows conclusively a large percentage of the freight carried
through Minnesota is carried by truck.
FHWA data
show that in 2002, a total of 280.7 million tons of freight moved through Minnesota, 86
percent of which was carried by truck.
The trend line shows dramatic increases projected, with freight traffic through
Minnesota expected to double by 2035, to a total of 551.5 million tons, of which 88
percent will be carried by truck.
The bridge collapsed at rush hour, with an estimated 100-150 trucks and trains on the
structure in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Officials in Minnesota had been warned since 1990 that the bridge was
"structurally deficient" and severely fatigued from the increasing volume of
traffic the bridge, which spans the Mississippi River along Interstate 35, was receiving.
North America's SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc. (NASCO), a Dallas-based trade
association, also designates I-35 as a NAFTA Superhighway.
NASCO's
website states, "There are no plans to build a new NAFTA Superhighway – it
exists today as I-35."
The original
2005 NASCO website opened with a graphic map of I-35 that highlighted in yellow the
continental nature of the I-35 NAFTA Superhighway, illustrating clearly the highway's
links into Mexico and Canada.
NASCO's original map highlighted the I-35 corridor from Mexico
to Canada |
WND has
previously reported the Minnesota Department of Transportation joined NASCO as a
member in 2006, after a heavy lobbying campaign launched by NASCO executive director
Tiffany Melvin.
As fully
documented on the Texas Department of Transportation website, the department plans to
build a new Trans-Texas Corridor parallel to Interstate 35, and NASCO has yet to repudiate
these new superhighway construction plans.
The debate whether or not to build a new TTC-like NAFTA Superhighway parallel to I-35
or to repair and rebuild I-35 to accommodate NAFTA and other global trade traffic required
by 2025 and beyond, including projections of international truck and train freight travel,
is now being debated by the states north of I-35.
As WND has
reported, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett has repudiated his signing in 2004 of a
document described as "The Declaration of North American Integration."
Cornett told WND he was opposed to the creation of a North American Union or the
extension of TTC-35 into Oklahoma, "if the whole point is to make it cheaper to
transport containers from China coming through Mexican ports."
WND has also
reported Oklahoma House Speaker Lance Cargill has invited to Oklahoma Robert Poole, a
prominent expert advising states to build toll roads as "public-private
partnerships," complete with financing from private investment
consortia seeking long-term operating leases on the new highways once completed, according
to the Trans-Texas Corridor model.
President Bush one and two plus the Republicans
in congress that took a sworn oath to protect the constitution and this nation
betrayed the American people and breached the
trust they swore to keep.you have the power to
stopt them, go below and write your members of congress
and remove the ones that have breached gtheir oath of
office.
If
you vote for Clinton,Obama,Biden, McCain and Dodd, this is what you will get!

Bush Sides With Mexican Killers Against U.S.
By Cliff Kincaid
June 13, 2007
The State Department's top legal adviser told international lawyers on June 6 that
President Bush is so committed to the primacy of international law that he has taken his
home state of Texas to court on behalf of a group of Mexican killers. The Mexicans had
been sentenced to death for murdering U.S. citizens, including young children.
John B. Bellinger III, legal adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, cited the
case, Mexico v. United States of America, in trying to convince the attorneys that the
administration is doing what it can to enforce international law in U.S. courts.
In the case, Bush has come down on the same side as the U.N.'s International Court of
Justice (ICJ), which ruled 14-1 on behalf of Mexico against the U.S. The ICJ was headed at
the time by a judge from communist China, who also ruled against the U.S.
Bellinger's audience was gathered at The Hague, a city in the Netherlands which is home
to over 100 international organizations, including the U.N.'s International Court of
Justice and the International Criminal Court.
Sworn in as the Legal Adviser to the Secretary of State on April 8, 2005, Bellinger is
described by the State Department as "the principal adviser on all domestic and
international law matters to the Department of State, the Foreign Service, and the
diplomatic and consular posts abroad."
The Bellinger speech, designed to convince the pro-U.N. globalists in attendance that
Bush is really on their side, should have been big news. Not only did he praise Bush for
coming down on the side of foreign killers of Americans, in a major court case with
international implications, but he demonstrated how far the administration is prepared to
go to impress the "international community."
In a major disclosure, Bellinger said that Bush is currently seeking immediate Senate
ratification of 35 different "treaty packages." He said these include the U.N.
Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a measure rejected by President Reagan and his
U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick. Bellinger didn't name any of the other "treaty
packages" that the administration wants to push through. But a number of radical
treaties are known to be pending before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, headed by
Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Joseph Biden.
Once again, it appears that Bush wants to ignore the concerns of conservatives in order
to work with liberal Democrats and advance a controversial legislative agenda.
International Law
"To put it simply," Bellinger said, "our critics sometimes paint the
United States as a country willing to duck or shrug off international obligations when
they prove constraining or inconvenient. That picture is wrong. The United States does
believe that international law matters. We help develop it, rely on it, abide by it,
