Operation Truth Full Page Ad In WP

[JFN1]

Operation Truth is taking out a full page advertisement in the Washington Post. This is an important issue I hope everyone will support. The main text of the ad says it all:

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION recently admitted that they miscalculated the VA health care costs for Veterans of the War on Terror this year by at least $1.3 billion.
WITHOUT IMMEDIATE ACTION, four out of five returning Veterans could
be turned away from care. That is unacceptable to us.
A BIPARTISAN SENATE has moved quickly to cover this outrageous budget
gap with a $1.5 billion emergency supplemental. Congress should adopt the Senate’s plan immediately.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, President Bush must provide the leadership
that will prevent Veterans from being shortchanged now and in the future.

1. support our troops: bring them home and help the wounded

2. Another nail in the neocon coffin.

It took the VVAW about 10 years to gain national political exposure and momentum. I'm glad to see that the Iraqi Vets who know the real story of Iraq are forming a potent opposition to this administration's illegal and immoral war.

3. The real toll of this war

is yet to be felt here at home. We need to keep the Bush government from making the same mistakes made with Vietnam Veterans. Let's give these soldiers a fighting chance to survive the aftermath of this hellish war, once we get them home!
