Donate to Veterans

The U.S. government does not go the extra mile to support veterans who have made sacrifices for this country, that's why we should donate to veterans. Why should veterans not receive the benefits they were promised when they took vows to fight for American freedom? Many disabled veterans have been waiting to receive benefits years after they were injured, and that seems very unfair and almost criminal. America can afford to spend billions of dollars on the war in Iraq but cannot support the ones who have been injured in previous wars?

George Bush does not care about anyone but himself, and he has proven this fact repeatedly. The very least he can do is make sure every veteran is taken care of when they come home. Since this will never be a reality, we as Americans should willingly do our part to help those who protect us. The same people who complain about their budget being tight are the same ones who buy meaningless items on a daily basis. They can afford to go out and buy a fifty thousand dollar car to make themselves feel good, but don't realize that without our veterans they wouldn't be able to buy a stick of gum!

We need to start thinking about what is important. 20 or 25 bucks a month is not too much too ask of anyone for an important cause. If you have a home, car and a phone you can afford to donate to veterans! The only question we need to ask ourselves is how much we can afford.
