I hope that many of you will take the time to stay up tonight and listen to the radio show and hear our cries and desperation that we have shared over the years about the VA health care system. And not only listen, but get involved. Because this is the kind of healthcare you will be getting now with ObamaCare. you did not get involved in our struggle because you thought it did not affect you....well it came to bite you in the butt and I hope you are prepared.....Veterans are the perfect example of why you do NOT want the government in charge of healthcare. It should have been left in the hands of the private sector. Tonight around 11:00 PM EST I will be on this radio show with a few other Veterans telling our horror stories of the so called quality care at the hands of the VA. The host of the show will be Charlie Grapski. The number to call in the show is: (646) 787-8423. blogtalkradio/wakedafuqup For those I might have missed, I am also posting the link for the interview that was done with me at the VA Hospital as well as some other interviews that were done today and links for that. I know that I missed some of you when I sent the link out the last time and I truly cannot remember who I sent it to and who I did not since I am sending this as Blind copies. So I apologize for that. But I am trying to only send one email with all the info. Thanks for understanding......Candy This is what I posted on my Face Book Page with the link for the story on TV20: Governor Rick Scott, Senator Marco Rubio, Congresswoman Corrine Brown, Congressman Ted Yoho are you all listening? FREEDOM OF THE PRESS? I THINK NOT.....The VA just choose to not allow me my Constitutional right to be in the Press Conference that Sloan D. Gibson was at here at the local VA here in Gainesville, as they said I was a part of an organization. Well what do you think WCJB TV20 is? Here to talk to reporters about serious issues with VA. Sloan Gibson, there are serious issues at the Malcolm Randall VA. One is the VA Chief of Police Wayne E. NeSmith and Cindy Snook, public affairs officer refusing me the freedom of Press and right to hear what you had to say and take notes as a person of the Press. I also called Bill Bradshaw from VFW National: 202-543-2239 and told him what the VA did. I also mentioned you Lauren Price about your model for the VA and how all this could be changed and fixed and no one wants to give you the time of day to talk to you about it. For those who want to see if they can find it, go to: wcjb/local-news/2014/06/malcom-randall-medical-center-under-review Lauren Price did a press release: For Immediate Release To Contact VeteranWarriors: YN1 Lauren Price USN, (Ret.) Founder and Public Affairs Representative VeteranWarriors 727.247.8141 Email: veteranwarriors@yahoo Website: veteranwarriors1/ Facebook: facebook/veteranwarriors1 Today, one of VeteranWarriors State Coordinators (North Florida) and Press Officer, Candy Lovett, attempted to attend the Secretary of VA’s press conference this afternoon at Malcom Randall VAMC (Gainesville, FL). Below is her statement of the events that took place when she tried to enter the building. (Ms. Lovett has full Press credentials, is a 100% disabled veteran and is one of our many State Coordinators.) “The VA Chief of Police Wayne E. Nesmith refused to let me in even with a press pass. And Cindy Snook from Media Affairs refused to approve me based on her saying I was coming in as an organization and not press.” This is the second incident in which a VAMC employee harassed, threatened or intimidated one of our State Coordinators in the last 30 days. Our organization’s volunteers are always polite, respectful and follow the laws and policies in place wherever they go. The VA continues its pattern of conduct wherein employees believe they have the right to set policy at will, threaten and intimidate veterans to force their own edicts upon them and to violate the most basic tenants of human decency. Our organization will no longer sit quietly while such behavior is allowed to continue. This is not the first case of such tactics being used by VA employees against veterans. The use of VA police officers to intimidate veterans will no longer be tolerated. VeteranWarriors has formally requested that our Congressional leaders send a DEMAND to the SECVA, to create directive to the VA employees to CEASE AND DESIST using such tactics against our veterans.
