Do Not Vote For List
Press Release Veterans' Voting Bloc
Veterans' Voting Bloc Adds 6 More To It's "Do Not Vote" List By: Mike Bowman The Bipartisan Veterans group, who's primary mission is to vote out all elected officials, regardless of party who do not support specific Veterans issues have added 6 more to their "Do Not Vote For" list: Senators Don Nickles of Oklahoma, Pete Domenici of New Mexico, Diane Feinstein of California, Sheila Jackson Lee and Lamar Smith of Texas, and President George W. Bush. "Senators Nickles and Domenici have a poor record on Veterans issues. Senator Feinstein along with Congresspersons Lee and Smith have refused to sign our pledge to support specific Veterans issues" according to Attorney Phillip Jones, National Director of the VVB. He goes on to say "President George W. Bush has not lived up to his campaign pledge to honor the promise of no-cost medical benefits for Retired Uniformed Services Personnel and threatens to Veto legislation that provides for Concurrent receipt." Both issues are earned benefits promised to veterans. Veterans have seen their earned medical care benefits erode over several years. President Bush promised to honor the promises made concerning free medical care to career Veterans as one of his campaign issues. That, with other promised issues to Veterans gained their votes in a very close election. A loss of the Veteran vote in the next Presidential election would pose a serious problem for Mr. Bush. Concurrent receipt would restore the career Veteran with his/hers earned retirement. Under current law, Retired Disabled Veterans must forfeit dollar for dollar their retirement pay in order to receive VA disability pay. The two are different as Retired Pay is paid for years of service. Disability pay is for injuries or diseases incurred during service to our nation. The Retired, Disabled Veteran is singled out as the only federal employee this applies to. The Veterans Voting Bloc will remove the "Do Not Vote For" status if and when a candidate(s) makes a pledge to support specific Veterans issues and then follow through with actions. VVB members have already made their pledge to vote out any candidate, regardless of party that refuse to sign the pledge. For more information please contact: Philip E.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to you, but not all veterans are or will be in lock-step with your voting boycott call. Some have a much different paradigm than just a "one-trick-pony" view of the world.

I too am walking in "lock-step" with you!!
I am happy to see that there are people who are actually doing something for a change....and I am in full support of them. Unfortunately there will always be those who either are afraid to support a common goal....or refuse to help achieve any positive in this world....because they find it easier to be "naysayers".
If we can get enough impetus behind our goals.....we can achieve much!!

Don't congressman get retirement pay and a health care plan at places like Bethesda Hospital? I think so!
Elected officials do listen and do read information from voting blocs, after all, they do like their job or they would'nt spend million's to get elected. I am 100% in agreement with knowing what you get when you elect some ambitious politician. I am also 100% in favor of dumping the politicians who loose site of who elected them after they are wined and dined by the lobbyist etc. |

Update From National Director, Veterans' Voting Bloc
For the lack of action on Concurrent Receipt, the USFSPA, the attempt to deny new VA claims and health care for under 65 retired military personnel we will be voting against most incumbants. The only exceptions are those who signed our pledge plus: Shows, Bilakaris, Taylor, Evans and Reid. If anyone knows of any compelling reason to exempt other incumbants please let me know before the 19th.
