VENTSday: Veterans' Care + Presidential Protests

guernicamag.org

Fixing the federal VA's care of veterans and the limits of protest (presidential) are the topics of VENTSday this week.

The VA issue is hot nationally, and a court ruling against people who protested President Bush in Jacksonville in 2004 was just handed down.

We do not schedule guests for Wednesday at 8:30, because that's the time for VENTSday, your chance to vent (politely, please) on a pair of topics in the news.

We bring the topics, you bring the opinions. 

It's VENTSday on The Jefferson Exchange, and you participate by calling 1-800-838-3760 or 541-552-6782 or emailing JX@jeffnet.org.
 

Those topics again:

  • How should the issues with health care for veterans be addressed, and who should take the blame?
  • How big a "zone of safety" should be established between the president and protestors?
