Having just got back from a full
workday on Monday in Washington DC, I can tell you that the Fort McClellan legislation effort is now in the hands of some 10 senior congressional staffers spanning across the House and Senate. The issue is leaving the DAMA subcommittee and moving to another destination, and I was there to execute that transition. The move is made out of an expectation for faster and speedier delivery on the final Bill for the Fort McClellan contamination zone. DAMA is holding on budgets which are allegedly subject to "offsets" and the issue will be moved to a new committee where they are under discretionary funding. The transition meeting went well and I trust that will be completed by next week. Also an unplanned and unscheduled meeting was held with senior staff for one of the Alabama congressionals who represents the Anniston (Fort McClellan) district. I was fronted by a formal introduction by the House Veterans Affairs Committee and on that note, they all dropped what they were doing and gave me a full 30 minute meeting on the spot. They were unaware about the lockout of the Veterans from the Monsanto zone, and were stunned, sensitive, and apologetic that this happened to us. After taking several pages of handwritten notes and reviewing the law facts, they have concluded that an official letter will be sent on Alabama letterhead confronting the VA Secretary in Washington about why no developments have been made on establishing the Health Registery for the Veterans. In the hereafter, Alabama will be included in other Committee meetings involving Fort McClellan and they are considered our supporters and friends at this time. We are just now entering the Senate side of the Veterans Committee, which is a different universe altogether, and that meeting went well as did an update meeting with Senator Hillary Clintons office who is the Senator of district for my hometown. I am in touch with all of the people involved by email in between site trips to Washington, and documents are moved into them as they need them to get everything accomplished. With Alabama involved at the VA at this time, we think this will be enough to rock the world of the VA Secretary to get up off it and get moving !! If you have not seen my official appearance at the DAMA House Committee in our Forum below this one yet, do take the time to click on the LINK and read over my official testimony on the Fort McClellan matter. There are a pile of Illiterate and psychotic KookBalls on the internet who are making up their very own story as they go along, none of which is true. The truth sits here at this website as we are the only official Fort McClellan group that Washington is talking to for legislation. Leave the Nut Jobs behind because they will only lead you down the road to confusion and no information at all.
