By Michael Weisskopf Time Magazine, Jan. 12, 2008 ....Now, however, a federal judge in San Francisco has cleared the way for a dramatic challenge to the constitutionality of the VA's claims system. Judge Samuel Conti of the Northern District of California ruled that the administrative system is not "adequate" for reviewing claims of organizations suing on behalf of a broad class of veterans. See entire story Behind Veterans' Legal Battle ....Now Edwards, along with hundreds of thousands of other veterans, is part of class action lawsuit against the VA asserting that that just isn't good enough. Filed Monday by a California public interest group and law firm on behalf of vets diagnosed with PTSD, the suit is the first to accuse the federal department of constitutional violations and to seek sweeping changes in its processing of disability claims. The VA is charged with "shameful failures ... to meet our nation's legal and moral obligations to honor and care for our wounded veterans" who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Latest News from Washington: In a rare display of bipartisanship on the polarized issue of veterans spending, Craig appeared with Murray at the news conference and said he agreed with many of her comments.

Due Process of Law was intended to mean the right to a FAIR and IMPARTIAL hearing, and is guaranteed by the 5th Amendment to the BILL OF RIGHTS of the United States Constitution.
VA
benefits involve no agreement of the parties and may be
redistributed or
withdrawn at any time in the discretion of Congress. Doesn't a wounded Vet
have recourse to a special VA Court? Here's what an Attorney in Wisconsin reported to a Judge of U.S.District Court: After
thoroughly interviewing our client and other individuals as well as voluminous
documentation that has been placed in our hands, we believe there is sufficient
evidence of probable cause that members of the government, including but
not
limited to persons employed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs,
have
committed numerous criminal acts in both the Eastern and Western Districts
of
Wisconsin. Further, in speaking with our client's former attorney, who
have
indicated their willingness to testify under oath, it appears that these
officials
have actively taken steps to cover up the evidence of their crimes. Some
of the
felonious acts include: Fraud, 18 U.S.C. 1001 and
1018: Forgery, 18 U.S.C. 494
and 1505: Destruction of documents, falsification of and tampering
with
evidence, 18 U.S.C. 2017 and 285: perjury, 18 U.S.C. 1621:
disclosure of
confidential information, 18 U.S.C.1905: and conspiracy
to conceal the
above said acts after
the fact, 18
U.S.C. 1001, 3 and 241. . . .Our client seems
to have been the victim of government sponsored criminal activity.
Information
related to these crimes was brought to the attention of various federal
investigative agencies by both our clients and his previous attorneys
and we have
been unable to ascertain, after reasonable inquiry, that any investigation
has been
initiated by any of these agencies. . . Here's what former astronaut and Senator John Glenn had to say: "I
would think that the veterans organizations would be in here, clamoring
for judicial review."
These billboards have been erected
throughtout America in order to WARN the ______________ . ______________ Several years ago,
Oregon based Veterans for Due Process, Inc. (VDPI) and Texas-based
National Veterans Organization (NVO), sent a Certified Mail letter dated
October 17, 2000,
to each of the
presidential candidates making them aware of this threat to every
American family, and requesting that they provide their positions on this
vital issue.
A copy of that letter, complete with copies of attachments and footnoted
documents,
articles, etc., appears below and will provide you with a basic understanding
of this
serious problem which has the potential to devastate the lives of your
loved ones,
should they be injured in the military. As you read the letter, please
bear in mind the
fact that none of the presidential candidates answered the questions,
nor did they
respond to the ongoing deception and betrayal of the American people. Copyright 2000 VDPI
