FED UP! DOD PROPOSES TO RAISE TRICARE (HEALTH CARE) FEES FOR ACTIVE MILITARY AND RETIREES

Dear Sanators Durbin and Obama

and

The Honorable Judy Biggert:

When will this "MADNESS" end? Meaning simply, is that you legislators are not providing the close oversight with DOD as you are required to do. I suppose that is understandable, in that the "FOX" will be watching the HEN HOUSE." How can you all provide prudent guidance and oversight when you legislators are wasting funds on unneeded "pork barrell" projects and spending like crazy on a selective and useless Iraq war at the expense of the entire country. Schools don't have sufficient funds for heat and teaching supplies, the infrastructures are in dire need of repair and you are now-once again-trying to stick it to the very people who have served, valiantly and unconditionally, so that you all can go on supporting your friends and special interests with choice contracts at the expense of the honest hard working American citizen; especially active military and military retirees. That is the prevailing image many Americans have of their leaders, both democrats and republicans, alike. Shame on you all! I am fed up! I am an independent, but one thing is for sure, I will cast my vote during the next elections to ensure that one party doesn't control all three major entities of the Government. At present, there are inadequate "checks-and-balances" in place to protect the American taxpayers from arrogant and blatant misappropriation of government revenues.

Very truly Yours,

Charles "Carlos" Middleton,Sr.
Major,USAF, Retired

P.S. Please pass this msg on to your republican colleagues.
