I would like to recognize, sir, Congressman Bob Filner and Daryl Issa and sympathetic staff of the White House of the Clinton-Bush administrations.

I would appreciate it if you could answer the enclosed hearing questions by the close of business on January 7, 2013.

Thank you again for the opportunity to present AFGE's views on the VBA Claims Transformation Plan.

If you are given amputation, why should you wait three years for all the other parts of your claim to be adjudicated?

You know what the definition of one definition of insanity is? You try the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

You got to do something different, radical, change the whole nature of the situation.

This is disgraceful. This is an insult to our veterans.

With all due respect to my friends in the VSOs, as I listened to you, it seemed like you swallowed the Kool-Aid.

Say welcome home to our Vietnam vets. Let's grant their Agent Orange claims.

I cannot stress too much if you are going to keep doing the same thing, we are going to keep failing.

Let's grant those claims. Forget the suffering. Forget all the presumptiveness. Forget all the studies.
