A Veterans Bill of Rights petition is being circulated by Project Foot, a Florida based charity for homeless veterans and military families. The Veterans Bill of Rights addresses key issues with the Department of Veterans Affairs such as veteran homelessness, PTSD, discrimination, reintegration and hidden government programs.

The Veterans Bill of Rights is a petition written by Project Foot that is in search of a congressional sponsor. In just the past few days, hundreds of letters have been generated to Congressmen and Senators from over 40 states. The petition can be found at http://www.Veterans-Bill-of-Rights.org. The Veteran's Bill of Rights states:

Dear Leaders of this Nation,

We the People of these United States do humbly ask that you codify once and for all a Bill of Rights for our Veterans and their families.

American military personnel and their families have offered their lives to defend our nation and its way of life. As such, there are certain rights that our society must afford to them to ensure that their service does not hinder a fair chance at the American dream.

Current Patient Bill of Rights in the VA system is somewhat a joke... bout time someone else decided this too and is doing something about it regardless of homeless Vet or not homeless!
