Matching Funds

Today it was announced that John Edwards, (one of the richest men in America) will "accept Federal Matching Funds" of about 20 million bucks for his campaign. Hillery will get about 63 million and Obama about 60 million. Factor in all the Republican and Democrat political thieves and the "Matching Funds" is staggering. With the 3 above it amounts to about 143 Million dollars so maybe we should do the math on it all and Ask, "If the USG can give money to the thieving freedom grabbing pols, why can't they find about 65 million dollars and dedicate it to buying iBOT mobility Devices (Hi Tech Wheel chairs) to the approximately 2500 folks who qualify for them?"
I suggest we write to our legislators and demand they reduce EVERY candidate's matching funds by 15 percent and dedicate the money to our soldiers needs. We know it will never happen but we should let them know we will vote against them if they fail us on this issue. The VA's lack of action on this issue and the governments theft of dollars from VA programs to support other socialist projects is a disgrace. Make me god for a Day and I'd clean out the VA top structure of appointed and permanent employees like a dose of salts!
