Tens of thousands of soldiers are coming home with physical and
psychological injuries, including large numbers diagnosed with PTSD and
other ailments. Many recent news articles have revealed that the
government shamefully has not provided these veterans with an adequate
level of resources and care.

>From Walter Reed Army Medical Center to Veterans Administration hospitals
>across the country, including Seattle, inadequate funding has denied
>medical health professionals in the VA system the tools they need to
>provide world-class care to wounded vets.

This is shameful; especially coming from an Administration who is
hypocritically stating they "support the troops." It's time to stand up
and demand better funding for returning veterans and an end to the war
that is causing the casualties in the first place. Let's hold the
Administration accountable for veterans' care that they have so often
promised!

OUR DEMANDS
1. An immediate end to the Iraq war
2. Fully fund the VA system
3. Separate VA funding from other funding for the Iraq war
4. Meet all demands advanced by the VA workers union, the AFGE


VA accessible from bus routes 36, 39, & 60

Volunteers Needed!
