The VA is off and running
in the all-new 2007 congressional
session and has timely turned
in their proposal for the
first phase of their 2007
congressional budget for the
agency.

Buried in it as a line-item
detail is a call for the new
hiring of some 457 Claims Adjudicators
at VARO's.

All Veterans should be put
on notice, that Advocates
are OPPOSING this attempt
at hiring fraud, and even
though the dumb-ass VSO's will
likely rubber-stamp everything
through "as is", (like the true
and empty Parrot Heads that they
are), it is important for independent
Veterans to know that we are
putting on an opposition to
the adjudicator hiring plan.

To blatantly hire more adjudicators
without ever bothering to fix
the procedures which they operate
under, is to do little more
than to throw kerosene into
the fire. The only thing that
more hiring does is produce
more incompetent types so they
can falsify Vet claims a lot faster.


It is the falsification that
we are opposed to, and we want
that part of the process fixed
before any further hiring is
done.

This all has to stop. Veterans
should know that for 2007 we
are no longer supporting any
budget increases for claims
adjudicators or expansions
and entrenchments to the Court
of Veterans Appeals. The wealthy
get wealthier, while Veterans
continue to die without their
benefits.

There is something called a
Line Item Repeal
and that is what we have to use
as our Call To Action on the 2007
budget. We absolutely do have
to hang united together and call
for the complete removal of
the adjudicator hiring clause.

The government generally, and
the VA specifically has a flair
for deceptively inserting
unwanted and undesireable legislative
clauses which are intended to
harm us, inside of a long, large,
huge bill that we DO
want.

Up until now, illiterate types
on the Internet have been using
wall-bouncing panic tactics
to push these bills through without
ever studying what is inside them.
Veterans do have to stop listening
to these panic Herds and alarmist
articles which float around.
They are intended to scare you
into approving your own DOOM!

Veterans can learn more about
the VA 2007 budget proposal at
http://www.house.gov, and select
the Veterans Affairs Committee
on the Home Page. That will bring
you into the Democrat Page, but
then also select on the left menu the
Republican Page as well to
see what the comments are from
both sides of the same VA budget.
Both sides are carrying different
information about the same budget
Bill.

Veterans do have to start filing
opposition emails to the House
Veterans Affairs Committee, telling
them you oppose the hiring of
457 claims adjudicators until
the legislative changes to the
adjudicator process has been
made, which Vets For Justice has
already submitted to the Veterans
Disability Commission for emergency
adoption.

Tell them that more hiring with
absolutely no change in process, is
totally unacceptable to you as
a stakeholder and constituent.

And join our email drives down
in the Vets For Justice Organizational
FORUM at the bottom of this web
page, and help us with pushing
through all of our legislative
proposals which are currently
pending.

In the meantime, the VA 2007
budget proposal has other issues
of controversy as well, and
Veterans can immediately involve
themselves in studying that at
the House website.
