I'm going to make them famous, I'm going to veto every one of those bills, and you'll know their names, and we'll stop it, and we'll spend the money on our veterans that needs to be spent on our veterans. Not for bridges to nowhere. And we'll stop budgeting those hundreds of millions of dollars for other wasteful projects that do not serve the public interest. The principle here is simple: Public money should serve the public good. If it's me sitting in the Oval Office, at the Resolute desk, those wasteful spending bills are going the way of all earmarks and they're going right back to the Congress.

We have multiple VA systems but its not very well equipped to handle a lot of things. He has to go to [inaudible], which is fine, but it takes 6 months to get in down there. Then they include papers and tests. What can you do or what will you do to expedite him getting help and other veterans getting help when you have to wait 6 months then another 6 months for the kind of help that he needs. </p> <p>JOHN MCCAIN: Thank you sir. And I would argue this part of America has probably provided more men and women serving in the military in our wars than any other part of America. [...] We will never allow the scandal of Walter Reed to take place in country, we can never let that happen again. So I carry around with me quite often a quote from General George Washington, President George Washington, in 1789 he said the willingness in which young Americans will serve their country in a time of war is directly related to the treatment of to those who served in previous conflicts and that's true today as it was in 1789. Now here's the problem as I see it. That we have an increase in PTSD, we know that. This is a terrible, tough war. A terribly tough war. And we thank god that we will save more wounded because of the rapidity in which we can transport them from the battlefield to medical treatment and I thank god for that. But we have to focus our military medical care and our VA care, to those who need that care. Now you just pointed that out -- veterans now have to go down to the VA and stand in line to stand in line to get an appointment to get an appointment to get an appointment. I want to give everyone of these veterans a plastic card and you take that plastic card and you go to the doctor or healthcare provider of your choice and you get the treatment you need. </p> <p>LABEL: JM OH 08-07 (LF#5) KG - ClipI</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: <br />http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/5dxtfveqxl <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: <br />http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/1eg05oshjn</p> </div> <a href="/blog/49437-john-mccain-townhall-08-07-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/47935-infighting-at-va-costs-vet-benefits 2008-10-07T22:21:30Z rogus <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZO2ok0EdH-c&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZO2ok0EdH-c&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/47935-infighting-at-va-costs-vet-benefits"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/57672" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>VA doctors diagnose a veteran with PTSD but refuse vet benefits</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47935-infighting-at-va-costs-vet-benefits">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/47812-boot-cowboy-george-allen-ii 2008-10-07T22:19:20Z joanvt <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d_aDZYivELM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d_aDZYivELM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/47812-boot-cowboy-george-allen-ii"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/57379" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Country Version: An :11 second comparison of phony cowboy George Allen with James Webb, who is fighting him for the Senate seat from Virginia.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47812-boot-cowboy-george-allen-ii">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/47797-iraq-talk-jim-webb-in-washington-va 2008-10-07T22:19:19Z joanvt <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wmqpVa5HHsA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wmqpVa5HHsA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/47797-iraq-talk-jim-webb-in-washington-va"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/57364" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Jim Webb spoke about his policy ideas for Iraq at this great picnic event held in Washington VA (originally surveyed by George Washington himself).

I'm Greg [Last name edited] from Dover, NH. Sir, I'm a disabled Iraq war veteran. Myself, along with other disabled veterans have been having difficulties receiving benefits from the VA. The issue is from the adjudication process that hasn't been changed since World War I. When you become president, and I do mean when you become president, will you facilitate change in the adjudication process that is 90 years old?" <br /> <br />MCCAIN: "We did make some improvements in legislation that was recently passed by the Congress. We need to do more. But I think you would agree, first of all I thank you for your service. Could I [applause interrupts]. While the rest of you sit down, could I also say that there's another veteran that I see here from our greatest generation. Would you stand also sir? Thank you, because we appreciate your service as well [inaudible due to applause]. Thank you. Thank you and God bless you sir. Thank you, we have veterans of all wars here and of course you continue to inspire all of us. Uh, look, I carry with me usually a little card and a quote from General George Washington in 1789. That's why I mention our greatest generation being here too. And basically what he said in 1789, and I'm not as eloquent, he said the willingness with which young Americans will serve their country in time of war will be directly related to how the veterans of previous wars were treated by their fellow countrymen. Those words are as true today as they were then. I think we have great people working for the VA, I think you would agree with that. We have wonderful, dedicated people. I was recently down at the Phoenix VA, and met with them, some of them. And they're doing a great job. But we also know there's not enough facility, and there's not enough care. So here's my idea. And it's not originated with me, but I've consulted with so many, Paul, and Griff, and so many others who are here. Look, we need to concentrate our efforts to handle those wounds and those disabilities that are directly the result of combat. We need to expand our ability to treat PTSD. PTSD is going to be tough in this war, you know that. And we need to treat the combat wounds. We need to have increased ability to do so and right now, unfortunately, there are people who are, now drive a long way and they stand in line, and they have a routine healthcare need. And they stand in line, and they stand in line, to get an appointment, to get an appointment. Now my friends, we need to give those veterans who have routine healthcare needs a plastic card and say take that to the doctor, the healthcare provider of your choice and get the care you need. And meanwhile, [interrupted by applause] concentrate on our ability to treat PTSD, those wounds. The good news is, as you know, we're getting the wounded more quickly to medical care than ever before and we're saving so many lives."</p> <p>If you'd like to acquire a high resolution version of this clip, visit: <br />http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/c6v1lvjswg</p> <p>To download this entire event, visit: <br />http://issuealliance.box.net/shared/2ql1auko44</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46748-john-mccain-town-hall-meeting-07-22-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/45164-virginians-vs-the-dominion-of-coal 2008-10-07T22:34:24Z Susanna <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tnr-r_kVDas&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tnr-r_kVDas&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/45164-virginians-vs-the-dominion-of-coal"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/51985" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>People of Virginia rise up in a democratic fervor to oppose the coal-fired power plant proposed by Dominion Power.
