A Navy man back from Iraq just called me all upset. He had a stroke at 24 and is at his wit's end now 2 years later because he will be disabled and in a wheelchair the rest of his life. He can speak, read and write but has little movement in his left hand or leg.
He said he e-mailed his Congressman in FL but never heard back and the VA people never get back to him either.
Is anyone at KOS familiar with advocacy for Vets and getting them what they need?
He wants to work. He can still fix computers, software and hardware but can't find work he can do at home. And he says if he does work he loses his SS benefits!
Goddamn Republicans and Bush and Cheney and the whole lot of them!!!
Please help with advice and I will get it to him.
