With all the focus on FISA the last few days, I want to draw your attention to an issue that we must focus on: Better treatment of Veterans. Last week I read two disturbing reports. One that there are discrepancies in female veteran health care treatment. The other was how veterans have been exeperiments for drug testing without proper knowledge of suicidal and violent side effects.

I've got an Act Blue fund Called Better Senators for Veterans.  I started this last month to help those candidates running against the incumbent republicans that voted against the Webb GI Bill. I have raised about $1200 and have more in pledges. I still want to get to $1500 this weekend and I've pledged some of my own money. Rick Noriega is a great candidate and needs your support against John Cornyn.

Well I've also taken an interest recently in the GA-12 house race. I know there is a lot of discussion about that race with Obama backing Barrow and I've got another diary on that.
I think Regina Thomas is certainly one to back there and add that to your list and I have an Act Blue page GA-12 Taking on a Bush Dog for that race.

However, I have not had the time to really dig and target those house races where we have incumbents that are bad for veterans. I would like to extend my efforts to the House. Please let me know who should be on this page. I will make an effort to blog on this issue also.

Thanks for your comments and assistance.
