Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 List: I got this letter today from Jeffery Trueman. Gretchen Re: The Nationwide Petition Drive To Reform/Repeal The Feres Doctrine Dear Gretchen: Thank you! I have been pondering a lot about the " anthrax " injustice for the book. I can now rest easy knowing that I will receive the necessary information from those living the injustice. I hope the book when it hits the public will do its part to bring the issue onto the floor of the Congress. True --------------------- He is refering to the fact that his letter about " Wake Up Call was forwarded to our list. I suggest those who would like to be included in the book contact Jerrery at: TVerpa@... SNIP " ...We initiated the on-line petition approximately six months ago. We are confident, in time, the petition will receive the attention it deserves in the United States Congress. Of course, to bring about change in our government it takes " strenght in numbers " , so, if you could please pass the word on about this important initiative to your family and friends we would be truly grateful. At the present time, I am preparing my manuscript for " Wake Up Call: " A Demand for Fairness and Justice in the Department of Veterans Affairs " . (Copyright © 2001 A. Trueman). This book is a follow-up to " Beyond the Scope of Justice: The Chilling Effects of the Feres Doctrine in the United States Armed Forces. " In this book I explain " systemic abuses " that occur within the military's legal and medical systems under Public Law, Title 10, U.S.C et seq., due to the " Feres Doctrine " . The book is predicated upon abuse in the military's mental health system (medical malpractice) and the evidence used to support the book is filed with the United States Supreme Court. Additionally, I participated in ABC 20/20's October 1999 expose' " An Abuse of Power? " which addressed this issue. In " Wake Up Call " , the book will focus on abuses and denial of bona fide service-connected disability claims within the Veterans Administration. I am searching for veterans or their surviving loved ones who feel they have been denied " due process of law " to address the above stated reality. If you possess evidence establishing a prima facie of either abuse or denial of benefits and would like your story to be considered for placement in book, please e-mail me at tverpa@.... To be considered, you must provide us with evidence to meet the " civil " defination of " preponderance of the evidence " . That means, " general standard of proof in civil cases ...where it is more convincing to the trier [of fact] than the opposing evidence ... It thus refers to proof which leads the trier of fact to find that the exisence of the fact in issue is more probable than not. " Overall, a complete explanation of our advocacy/publishing operations can be reviewed at our web site.
