A Call to Action - 4 R Disabled Vets

I am encouraging everyone, especially my Wisconsin friends, to write the governor and your state representative(s) and state senators about doing more for our veterans, especially our disabled vets!

Here is a post from a friend of mine, Hallis Mailen - https://www.facebook.com/hallis.mailen1?fref=ufi:

"Governor Scott Walker! I've decided as of today to start facing off against you and your administration for your erroneous and complete disregard for the well being of military veterans, especially disabled veterans, whom you customarily herald at holidays that you stand by and support, contrary to members of your administration that have extorted or stole money from the 'Freedom Fund', and your most blatant abuse of veterans which was when you graciously signed the bill to allow cancer patients to receive medical marijuana, yet you completely left disabled veterans who suffer from PTSD, Chronic Anxiety, and other emotional disorders completely off the bill. Why would you do such a reprehensible thing? Perhaps because you'd rather support huge pharmaceutical companies and their marketing of dangerous legal barbiturates, antidepressants, and mood alter drugs that have higher rates of shortening life expectancy than do medical marijuana canabanoids?

Well, I frankly am sick to death of your hypocritical attitude on such an important issue so close to the hearts and minds of veterans who such from nightmares and anxieties from the horrors they have faced while serving in the U.S. Military, while you comfortably sit in your high chair and accept payouts from lobbyists to harm us instead with dangerous drugs.

I have decided to go on the offensive. I intend to write every congressional official that I know, even the President of the United States and First Lady, who have often supported Veterans, I am even going to encourage the support of various Veteran support groups like Madison Veterans For Peace and National Veterans For Peace and encourage them to face off with you as well until you do right by us and give us the natural medicinals we need to get healthier. Forget about your dangerous drugs and forget about your run for the presidency as long asd you continue to slap veterans in the face with your hypocrisy.
You have been notified,,, you're on the wrong side of the fence!"

Sincerely, Hallis D. Mailen , Military Disabled Veteran

"Once I gain enough support locally in Madison for this push to confront Walker on this, and i get a response from the linked organization, I intend to hold a press conference, and invite allied local politicians to support a petition to amend the medical marijuana bill in Wisconsin.

Walker signed the medical marijuana bill for cancer patients in Wisconsin, but to protect the lobbying interests of pharmaceutical companies doing business in Wisconsin, he completely rejected including veterans on this bill, despite his boasting every Christmas that he supports military veterans. Time to shove his hypocrisy up his nose!"

Sample letter:

Dear (Governor Walker, Representative Name, Senator So & So),

I am writing to you today to help our veterans, especially the disabled veterans, get the medical help they need.  Our military gives freely for our country, putting the citizens and representatives above themselves and their own families.  When coming back from war, they need to ensure that their treatment is also important, and often, natural treatments that work with modern medicine is exactly what they need.

Medical marijuana can not only help those in need of pain control from diseases such as cancer, PTSD, ghost pains from amputation, glaucoma, and so much more.  Along with the medical part, the rest is good to add to our economy by making paper, burlap bags, shoes, and other clothing items.  But more importantly, in order to help our veterans, they must be put first before anything else.  So when we honor our disabled veterans, let us ensure our actions are in tune with our words to give back to those who gave so much to us.

Thank you for keeping our veterans in mind.  Please continue to do so, for the betterment of our future!

Sincerely yours,
