Support the Blue Water Navy, Cambodia, Laos, Korea and other Veterans affected by Agent Orange.

Representative Bob Filner, California 51st district has a bill in committee that will restore the benefits of a certain group of Vietnam Veterans who had those benefits illegally taken away by the Department of Veterans Affairs. (better known by many as the Department of Veterans Antagonists) I started this petition to send to the House of Representatives to try to open their eyes to how much support there is for correcting the egregious error the DVA made in their mandate of "boots on the ground" something not intended in the original Agent Orange Act of 1991.

The text of bill H.R. 2254 is located here.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, introduced S1939 the Agent Orange Equity Act of 2009 in the Senate on 10-27-2009. The bill will, when enacted, restore presumptive eligibility for exposure to herbicides to Veterans of the Vietnam War who served in the Blue Water Navy, the Blue Sky Air Force, and those who served in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, all of whom were included in the original Agent Orange Act of 1991, but were later removed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The text is identical to HR2254.
The Veterans Association of Sailors of the Vietnam War now has a petition for support of S1939, the Senate's version of the Agent Orange Equity Act of 2009.
Sign the Petition Here!

It is IMPERATIVE that you keep in contact with your Representatives and Senators so they know their vote FOR HR2254 / S1939
should be cast when the bill is presented to the Floor of the House and the Senate for a vote!
