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.
