ATTN: Veterans’ Disabilities Benefits To Be Cut

I was notified by a Gulf War veteran via email that Congress was considering cutting the benefits of disabled veterans by the amount of their social security stipend. Such a move by Congress has been confirmed and looks probable:

Veterans Disability Benefits Commission Studies Offsetting Social Security Disability Benefits

There have been allegations from outside parties that the Veterans Disability Compensation Commission recently set up by Congress was studying the question of whether veterans disability compensation should be reduced by Social Security disability benefits. There is no doubt now. The Commission has now confirmed this. No final decision has been made, but it seems clear from the press release that recommending an offset is under very serious consideration.

I don’t think such a thing should be allowed to happen. Here is a petition started by a group of veterans. Would you consider signing it? Align yourself with the most deserving of American citizens: our vets.

Personally, I’d rather pay our veterans triple any amount than see one cent get siphoned off into an AMNESTY entitlement program for non-Americans.

The U.S. Congress Is Ready To Put America’s Most Disabled Veterans Below The Poverty Level.

Congressional leaders and President George Bush have formed the VETERANS’ DISABILITY BENEFITS COMMISSION to cut veterans’ benefits. Is this how you want your federal politicians to repay those who have sacrificed so much for you, your family, and America?

Personally, I think this is a total disgrace to even form the Commission to plan such an act. I’d love to know who the federal politicians are who support this Commission of Disgrace.

I feel that the VETERANS’ DISABILITY BENEFITS COMMISSION should be disbanded and all its supporters in Congress names be made public.
