Military Report - Checks to Relieve Vet Student Debt
The delay in Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit payments has caused a financial burden for many veterans. In response the Department of Veterans Affairs has authorized checks for up to $3,000 to be given to eligible veteran students who have applied for educational benefits and who have not yet received their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefit payments.

Subject: Homeless Veterans

Lisa,


I just got back from the film festival in Sonoma, CA where my new film about a homeless veteran premiered. While catching up on your recent postings I saw the article you had about the GI Bill delays and homeless veterans being ignored by the GOP. (Of course, they could care less what happens to our "heroes" but it's a national crisis and moral failure on both sides in my limited experience with the issue.


Anyway, I wanted to direct you to an amazing blog written by a struggling female vet who is currently homeless. She only has a handful of posts but her story is enlightening and heartbreaking at the same time.

Also, if you want to follow what's going on with the film and other info on vets I've been trying to keep my blog updated. I was honored to have a vet who runs a program in Central California for homeless, elderly and/or disabled vets attend the screening. Was also fortunate enough to have a ten minute radio interview and got a chance to speak about the issue of homelessness for veterans and the why/how it happens as well as encouraging people to get active in their local communities and how they can help. My next stop is a festival in Oregon.

Hope things are going well for you.

Republican Wants Obama Out Of Government

A Republican congressman who called President Barack Obama an "enemy of humanity" said Tuesday through a spokeswoman that he should have made clear that he was referring to the president's policies related to abortion...."A president that has lost his way that badly, that has no ability to see the image of God in these little fellow human beings, if he can't do that right, then he has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an enemy of humanity," Franks said

"Oh, and that Colorado man that's arrested for lying to the FBI and having links to al Qaeda, well, they got him on an additional charge. Planning to use weapons of mass destruction. He reportedly purchased bomb-making ingredients from a beauty supply store. Did you hear his defense today? He said, 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.'" --Jay Leno
