Personally, I found the way they did this in the House to be disgusting.<div>We found out about it one day and they voted it through the next day.</div><div>What can we do about it?</div><div>How do we protect our fellow Veterans?</div><div><br></div><div>Personally, if the Tea Party can get their members into office, how come our Veteran organizations cannot get organized and replace Democrats and Republicans who have not served with those who have served?</div><div><br></div><div>We need to do something. The Republicans have back stabbed us and there has to be consequences.</div>

You have all made very good points. Now it's time to act on our frustrations. No one else is going to act on our behalf, and these career politicians know it. That's why they have thrown us under the bus, again, with no fear of the repercussions.
A new political party is forming, right now, as I speak, called the Veterans Party of America. A party created by veterans, for all Americans, to provide true leadership for this country. One month old, and we now have representatives organizing party headquarters in 42 states. This will not be easy, and requires boots on the ground for the long haul, because we all know the two primary parties will be pummeling us with their bought and paid for media machines.

There is actually another party known as the Veterans Independent Party (V.I.P.). Perhaps the VPA should team up and join forces and become part of the V.I.P. I believe they both have the same purpose, mission and commitment to restoring American values, integrity and honesty back in our system of government. V.I.P. is a concept working to become a grassroots movement where Veterans are seeking opportunities to win elections at the local, state and federal level. Let's hope VPA will become V.I.P. so that we can develop a united front with a common cause."
