I just had a student who's a conservative ask me this on another blog:
"we will visit Washington, D.C. in the fall and meet with executive agencies, special interest groups, and congressmen. Our issue is Veteran's Affairs. Any thoughts on the way our government is treating our veterans? Any people you would recommend we meet with?"
Please post your suggestions and I'll pass this on to my friend, alexander h.
Thanks in advance!
Encourage them to support veteran owned small businesses. Theres all kinds of big talk about them supporting vet businesses but the actual contracts awarded are a joke.
Women owned or minority owned get contracts without bidding, vets have to compete on the open market.
Will do, driftdiver!
Thanks CRBDeuce, I’ve passed this suggestion on to Alexander.
Also note that the VA has added online claims applications to its web site (it’s the first thing you’ll see there as of today). There’s also a press release today about it.
