Yet another Congressman is attempting
to set up yet another Veterans
Commission without a SINGLE
licensed medical doctor occupying
a single seat.

Yes, it's Buffoonland at the
Commission-factory of Congress.
Veterans are the only medical
patient population in the world
who are subjected to the utter
lack and absence of academic licensure
and Board certification from
"other Veterans" occupying
all crucial fact determination
Boards and Commissions, instead of
just treating us like regular
regular medical patients in
a regular hospital system,
and giving us high level
and certified Toxicologists
like other patient groups.
Have you ever heard of such
nonsense in your life ??

Instead it's Joe Bravado
and his chest full of war
medals without a lick of
medical academia anywhere
in his resume and it is
THIS that all other Veteran
medical patients are STUCK
with !! Go Figure !!

The Fort McClellan Veterans
are calling for a national
email drive for H.R. 4259
authored by Congressman Brian
Higgins of Buffalo, New York.
The Bill has a good concept
at large, but it needs fine
tuning for sure.

You can find the full text of
the Bill by going to:
http://www.house.gov
and clicking on FIND A BILL
and then enter in the right
Bill ID "H.R. 4259" and it will
come up on your screen.

You can access Congressman
Higgins email for your letter
of support by selecting his
name at the top of HOUSE.GOV
and then select "Contact Brian".

The Bill attempts to set up
a permanent and forever
Veterans Right To Know Commission
which never expires in duration,
although the name has absolutely
nothing to do with it's function.

In contrast, the function is
to investigate all matters
pertinent to chemical exposure
cases involving military
human testing of chemicals,
including Project SHAD and
other dubious efforts by
the military in non-war scenarios.

The Bill bunglingly sets up
the Commission as a "lifetime
appointment" to 10 members,
all of who are to be "political
party" appointees from Congress
and the President and so on,
and goes on to so incompetently and
outrageously specify that "Veterans"
are to be the Chair and Vice Chair
of the Commission, as well as at
least 2 Veterans are themselves
to be mandated chemical testing
victims under the existing Bill.

YEAH RIGHT !!!

It also has the flaming NERVE
to go on and specifically prohibit
anyone who is an employee of any
state, local, or federal agency.

THERE LIES THE PROBLEM !!

What ass would NOT want the finest
and most top quality licensed
medical practitioners in the
country sitting on a chemical
exposure fact finding Commission,
especially those from top agencies
such as the Center For Disease Control,
the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, and the
Institute of Medicine ????
Can you say DUH, your honor ??
Talk about yer lost in space!

If Congressman Brian Higgins
had a brain then he'd be
dangerous, because he is
deliberately excluding the
very thing that we WANT !!
Earth calling Stupidville!

We are asking all Veterans
to send an email demanding
an Amendment to H.R. 4259
as follows:

We support the overall idea
of a new chemical Commission
but not the way it is
specified in Commission members.

(1) We insist that the Commission
be exclusively membered by
top quality, licensed and
certified medical practitioners
from the National Center for
Toxicology, the Institute of
Medicine, the Center for Disease
Control, and the U.S. Dept.
of Health and Human Services
and other entities of the like.

(2) We insist that the Fort
McClellan Veterans be added
to the scope of authority
and oversight for this new
Commission.

For those who don't know it,
human testing was done
at 3 Army bases up until
1973 involving small amounts
of Sarin and VX gas at
Edgewood Research lab at
Aberdeen, MD; Fort McClellan,
Alabama; and Dugout Proving
Ground in Utah.

We want to make dam straight
sure that Edgewood is NOT the
only base who walks away with
the prizes from this Commission.
We want the Army to speak
on All 3 Exposure Groups

If Congressman Higgins cannot
find the bearings to impose
these 2 Amendments, then
we stand in OPPOSITION to the
Bill H.R. 4259 because it will
turn into yet another bungled,
malpracticed, nut farm of a
grandstanding circus the way
that the VA Disability Commission
is currently operated.

Veterans Listen UP !! Sometimes
nothing at all is BETTER than malpractice
and incompetence and that is what these
phoney baloney unqualified Vet
commissions really are.
End the human torture please and
let's start getting licensed
and QUALIFIED practitioners on
these determination Commissions.

Go to them in a public hearing
and start talking to them
about highly technical arguments
and then stand back and watch
the 9 Mile Stare fall
over their stupid Vet faces while
they sit there stuck-on-stupid
never admitting that they are
in over their combat heads!!

Let's do it RIGHT and get
REAL medical people on this
thing once and for all, and
to hell with what Congressman
Higgins thinks on this point.

Please join our email drive
effort now to stop the malpractice
madness and INSIST on top
quality medical practitioners
to sit on this new proposed
Commission under H.R. 4259.
Stop the death, stop the bureacracy,
stop the public hearing circus,
and let's get emergency response
people in the middle of this thing.
