Publications

The list below is a partial list of mostly government related publications.  These publications clearly show that our government clearly ignores their oversight responsibilities. In this case, not only tax money has been wasted, but at least 4 Veterans have lost their lives because neither political party cares if Veterans are killed.

The button below for The Spokesman Review in Spokane has done a marvelous job in documenting most of the problems leading to the deaths of 4 Veterans.

The button for the VA OIG is for accessing the internal investigations made at VA that again show the improper actions or lack of actions of VA employees.
