This starts from the bottom up. It's on us to get out there and read up on the VA Surge petition. I highly recommend any service member or veteran take a look at this. I personally would love to see Montel Williams (USMC and USN Vet) discuss the VA Surge with us inside RallyPoint. <br /> <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="2583" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/2583-16px-political-military-affairs-strategist-saf-ia-secaf">Col Private RallyPoint Member</a>, <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="16733" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/16733-sfc-a-m-drake">SFC A.M.

Do you have an opinion on it or recommend any ways for Montel Williams to garner this support?

Why if this is so important do we need grass roots organizations to BEG our elected officials to put this into action. This is an automatic, no brainer. He hit it right on the head, there's no issue finding money to pay for the wars so why is there an issue taking care of those of us who have fought them? These DC buttholes keep adding to the number of veterans, through their own actions, so why through their own action can they not reciprocate?? Its pretty tragic, when illegal immigrants and immigration reform take top billing over veteran health care. <br /><br />I have signed and posted the link on my FB page and if enough of us keep spreading the word, we'll get those signatures!
