The House and Senate Veterans
Affairs Committee's have launched
hearings and an investigation
into recently announced bonuses
which are sought by top executives
at the VA agency.

Senator Daniel Akaka is spearheading
the probe which is posted front
and center on the Committee's
website at http://www.senate.gov

Some congressmen at the House
are already calling for the
immediate firing of VA Secretary
Jim Nicholson. Most are outraged
and disgusted that VA Execs. are
siphoning off high performance
bonuses, some as much as $33,000
each, at the same time that the
national Veterans disability
claims system is in complete and
utter collapse and disarray.

We agree.
Please send your emails to the
Senate Veterans Committee at
http://www.senate.gov and select
CONTACT the Committee on the
left hand menu.

Dear Senator Akaka,

I am a Veteran and wanted to send
my THANKS to you for revealing
the VA Bonus scandal on our behalf.
I also wanted to join the Call
for the full FIRING of VA Secretary
Jim Nicholson.

Signed,
Your full contact info


Those of us with VFJ have argued
for the entire past year that
the deliberate trashing and
falsification of Veterans disability
claims by VA Raters, was rooted
in violations of state and federal
EXTORTION laws. Now it seems the
VA Bonus scandal appears to
legitimize those arguments because
all we have been looking for
up until now in this corrupt VA
system is where the money trail
is all going to. Now it seems that
we have an answer to that mystery.

Be sure to continue tracking the
House and Senate websites for
any outcomes on this Breaking
News development. It has already
hit the Associated Press and
we are hoping for expanded news
coverage as the investigation
hearings come to bear.

Just think, how many vet's where denied compensation so these people could get these bonuses. Just think how much they would have got if they did there job.
