Time to Fire Head of VA!

Dear Joseph,  Enough is Enough. It Is Time To Fire Eric Shinseki.  Atlanta. Pittsburgh. Phoenix. Fort Collins. It seems like every day, there is a new story in a new city about negligence, cover ups, and mismanagement at a local VA facility. It is not just one city or one hospital - there is an epidemic of misconduct and leadership failures at VA facilities at across the country. Whether it is secret wait lists for veterans needing urgent care in Phoenix, the cover up of preventable deaths of VA patients in Pittsburgh, or the use of Stasi-like tactics to spy on veterans critical of the VA in Salt Lake City - it is clear that that many so-called leaders within the Department of Veterans Affairs are failing America's veterans and engaging in gross misconduct or possibly even criminal behavior. Worse yet, it has now been confirmed that dozens of veterans have died as a result of delayed and improper care at the VA which is a direct byproduct of these leadership failures.  That is why it is time to say ENOUGH and demand that President Obama fire the head of the VA, Secretary Eric Shinseki.  What we're doing and how you can help:  SIGN our Petition to fire VA Secretary Eric Shinseki: Visit www.cv4a.org/fireshinseki to sign our petition.  28 APR to 11 MAY: CVA FL will mobilize grassroots volunteers through phone calls, social media, and letter writing to hold the VA Accountable.    8 MAY :   - CVA FL will host a VA Accountability phone outreach event in Sebring, FL. (5:30-8:00PM) RSVP HERE   13 MAY :  - CVA FL will host a phone bank in Gainesville to demand VA Accountability (6:00- 8:00PM) RSVP HERE    - Strike Team Training Session in Pensacola (5:30-8:00)   RSVP HERE   15 MAY :  -  CVA's Pensacola Chapter will host a training session and phone bank to garner support for the VA Management Accountability Act (6:00- 8:00PM)  RSVP HERE 17 MAY :   - DAY of Action: Rally with CVA's own retired USMC Gunnery Sergeant Jessie Jane Duff in The Villages, FL; phone banks and canvassing to follow withour fellow veterans and patriots (5:00-8:00PM)  RSVP HERE  - CVA Pensacola will host a phone bank demanding that President Obama fire VA Secretary Eric Shinseki (11:00AM - 1:00PM) RSVP HERE   25 MAY : - Join the CVA FL team at the Palatka Blue Crab Festival as we spread the word on VA Accountability with Representative Ron DeSantis.
