It's not like they don't have a full compliment of staff (aides and secretaries) who can respond and assure you that at least your email reached something besides the oval basket. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-63501287187039622702009-02-01T08:39:00.000-08:002009-02-01T08:39:00.000-08:00It comes as no surprise to me.

All one gets from writing their congressperson or senator is a form letter, that is if they answer you at all, in which they tell you all about what THEY are doing. It's as if the letter you wrote is above their comprehension. I have been trying to get my (big joke) senators Kerry and Kennedy to help my PTSD Combat Veteran brother, and all he and I got, if they answered, was a form letter that meant exactly nothing. I am at a loss to know who or where a citizen can go for help anymore. Certainly, it is not, repeat not, to one's congressman or senator. (I use a small "c" and "s" because they don't deserve the title bestowed upon them. I wish you the best of luck in your attempt to help this veteran.<BR/>God Bless!Elena Dorothy Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401543784385731565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-42967768904324994832009-01-31T14:35:00.000-08:002009-01-31T14:35:00.000-08:00Nancy,It's so unfair and one of the things that ne...Nancy,<BR/>It's so unfair and one of the things that needs to be fixed. Men serving in the armed forces during that time are just as deserving as those who served any other time. As it is, there is so little available to men when they fall on hard times. Did you know that a divorced woman with children is eligible for welfare assistance and housing, but a divorced man who has custody of the children is NOT! Right now they are making a big deal about the woman who worked for years and discovered she was paid a lot less than the men. I agree it's wrong, but here's a prime example of the reverse. If we're going for equality, let's have it all around.<BR/>Thanks for visiting and sharing your opinion.<BR/><BR/>GAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-79101896871879591162009-01-31T12:23:00.000-08:002009-01-31T12:23:00.000-08:00Wow- good luck.I find it interesting that people t...Wow- good luck.<BR/><BR/>I find it interesting that people think all vets have GI bills- but it's just not true. There were close to ten years when little was offered. A whole generation of vets who "don't count."Nancy J. Parrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107417252662717576noreply@blogger.com
