Shinseki Confirmation Hearing Jan. 14
Hal Donahue, writing yesterday on the Huffington Post, says “General Shinseki deserves quick Senate approval; veterans desperately need him.”
Somehow caring for the veteran and his family is lost as it is in the mission statement. Many current executives at both the national and regional levels appear to have neither the will nor the courage to fight the fight for our veterans. Or perhaps they are just worn out from trying? Perhaps they provided more with less for so long that they now feel that they are being asked to do everything with nothing? Why? The answer is to save money to fight Bush’s Iraq War and for tax cuts for the well off trickle down that never did trickle down.
The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, chaired by Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI), starts at 10 a.m. ET in room 106 of the Dirksen Bldg.

Retired General Eric Shinseki served his country well, and I am sure he will lead the way to ensure our Veterans are treated with utmost respect. He has alot of courage, experience, and knowledge that will serve this country well. I am very proud of him.
