Despite selfless service to their nation, a large group of Americans brace the elements each night, often cold, hungry, alone, and sleeping on the streets. Many of these homeless Americans are veterans, some of which have withstood the elements of combat, born the emotional and physical scars or war, only to return home, and later find themselves on the streets of America. The social injustice of allowing our men and women who have served in uniform to become homeless after leaving military service is reprehensible.
In 2010, President Obama and the Veterans Administration called for ending veteran homelessness in the next five years. The Veteran Administration’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans program clinics served over 70,000 veterans in 2008 (Homeless Research Institute, 2010, p.1). The ambitious goal of eradicating veteran homelessness cannot be the sole responsibility of the federal government. While the government does have the funding mechanisms, they often lack the personal connection so often needed in providing direct assistance. While the federal government is moving to address the growing issue of veteran homelessness there are many things at the local level that can be done. Combining the resources of local organizations, nonprofits, churches and individual citizens willing to volunteer their time we as Americans can successfully end homelessness within the veteran community.

If Helene is in charge of the military or the congress, then possibly she would be able to do something about homeless veterans.
It would be interesting to know how you think the problem can be solved, and where the money would come from - at a time when funds are being cut back for schools, colleges, firefighters, etc.

The number is up to 50 now. 77 of 86 ads aired today were PSAs.
Limbaugh confused contraception with Viagra - it is not taken "on demand". Viagra IS supplied by health insurance companies. He also missed the bulk of Fluke's testimony, which was about the medical benefits of birth control pills, not about contraception.
As for fiscal conservatives, charts over the last several decades indicate that conservative administrations have been anything but fiscally conservative. The last admin was one of the worst (besides the Reagan admin that turned the US from a creditor nation into a debtor nation). The CBO estimates that the repeal of the Bush tax cuts will all but wipe out the deficit.

Why, the road is uglier than the barrier - and the view in the distance is magnificent !

Thanks, binky for some cold, hard facts. Looks like a big fuss about nothing. I had decided to go along with the SmartMeter and will continue to not use a cell phone. Quite a difference, with the cell phone losing.

I am glad the bridge is up - I have never seen so many words wasted on a topic before. Mention Cold Springs Barrier on any board, and stand back for the volcano of hot steam spewing forth without rest.

I do not partake of alcoholic beverages, and as for private property there is not much to be done there - after all it is private. However, public lands deserve the best care. As far as soil erosion is concerned, this book is a must:

And btw, people who have to resort to name calling lose the argument by default - it is usually because they themselves know very little. It would be best to stick to the facts and refrain from ad hominems. I am far from the misapplied "left-wing hippy" - probably more from the old school conservative when conservative really meant something, as in conservation.

Do you know that more than $1billion in rebates will be sent to customers this year, under the news rule that insurers must spend 85% of income on medical expenses - and if they did not they have to return the money.

5.1 million senior citizens have saved $3.4 billion for prescription drug coverage under the Affordable Care Act. More than 220,000 participants saved an average of $837 per month during the first three months in 2012. For seniors living on a limited budget, these savings offer great relief for the soaring cost of prescription medications.

Obamacare will reduce the deficit by $127 billion

Reagan turned the US from a creditor nation to a debtor nation, and raised taxes 11 times.
40% of the Obama stimulus consisted of tax cuts for 90% of the population, and taxes are the lowest they have been in 50 years.
What needs the most medical attention now, is this faulty knowledge many people have, and are just content to make dumb, false statements without doing the research.
