Fixing the VA and VBA: An Ongoing Campaign
Veterans for Common Sense Exec Director, Paul Sullivan
- Following a string of successes ranging from PTSD to expanded Agent Orange presumtives, the fight to creating new veteran-friendly agencies continues. Faster than one can say frack ‘Senator Jim Webb’ or frack ‘Senator Richard Burr,’ the contempt for veterans persists -
Veterans for Common Sense’s work fighting to fix the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) relies on public support and awareness to continue.
There is a one million backlog of benefit claims at the VA.
The VA’s benefit claim form was 23-pages long, [since shortened to six pages].
Veterans must wait six months to five years to have their claim processed and resolved, [if they are very lucky].
These are just a few of the problems that must be fixed before our Veterans receive the healthcare and benefits they deserve, and have earned.
Please support Veterans for Common Sense’s work today.
Fix VA is a program of the 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization Veterans for Common Sense.

Only ‘fixing’ the VA needs. and has always needed since Korea, is for the Country to Actually Pony Up for the Results of their Wars of Choice, thus causing the Agency to actually become the Best in the World in Care, Research, Training and more and saving money by doing so!!!!!!!!!
