Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans:
The Old Veterans Guard is holding a major press conference on Sunday afternoon at our 1 o’clock to 4 rally in front of the National Veterans Home to challenge President Obama and U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-West L.A.) to open the front gates and bring our homeless Veterans Home.
Our press conference announcement does not include U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Ca), who is also up for re-election, but she needs to be challenged as well.
The accompanying photos I took this morning of the tent set-up for another (minimum $1,000 per person) Disney-sponsored Celebrity Carnival Fundraiser on Veterans property. This is an AIDS fundraiser, not a Veterans fundraiser.
The VA allows for non-Veteran causes like this to set up tents and toilets, but will not erect tented shelter for homeless Veterans, in spite of or our non-stop requests for a Veteran “Stand Down” / Tent City, and the VA's repeated denial, all the way to Veterans Secretary Eric Shinseki.

With Tuesday's primary election, Obama, Waxman and Feinstein all need to be openly challenged as they cannot take for granted that they will be re-elected without committing “in writing” to honoring the Congressional Act of 1887 and the Deed of 1888.
This tented Carnival fundraiser will be held right behind the front gates where we demonstrate and where the press conference will be held. With this as a backdrop, what better message can be sent to the President, the VA, Congress, Senate, and the Courts that enough is enough?
With this as a backdrop, what better message can be sent to the President, the VA, Congress, Senate, and the Courts that this land fraud scam must end, posthaste?
On behalf of 20,000 disabled and homeless Veterans who have been exiled from their legally deeded Home and forced to live in back-alley squalor, please show up on Sunday and speak out and challenge President Obama to “Open these Gates” and “Bring Our Homeless Veterans Home.”
If not us, who?
If not now, when?

Note that they identify the location as “at Wadsworth theater grounds in Los Angeles” with no mention that it is on VA -– Veterans Property.
This year it does not mention “Disney” as a sponsor, but “Bob Iger” is co-chair of the event, and everyone knows that “Robert Iger” is chairman of Disney.
