The VFW Fights For Our Nation's Veterans

Veterans of Foreign Wars, or the VFW helped establish the Veterans Administration and has been fighting for the rights of our nation's veterans since the Spanish American War.  Joe Davis, Public Affairs Director for the National VFW, explains the many functions of the VFW, and discusses the scandal now embroiling the VA, and ways in which the VFW thinks the system should be fixed.

Tom Z Touts Tea Party Wins, Calls for Senate Vote on VA

Reaction to the scandal embroiling the Department of Veterans Affairs has been strong and bipartisan.  Tom Zawistowski, Executive Director of the Portage County Tea Party, knows how slowly the federal bureaucracy reacts to allegations of wrongdoing: he was among the first to complain about the IRS targeting Tea Party groups, a year before Lois Lerner pleaded the fifth.

Zawistowski slams Democrats in the Senate for blocking a vote on a bill to give the Secretary of the VA more authority.

In this wide-ranging interview, Zawistowski also extols the victories of Tea Party-backed candidates in the primaries, including long-time Cleveland Republican Richard May, who will face incumbent 9th District Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur in November. And he explains why progress was made even though State Representative Matt Lynch lost to incumbent 14th District Congressman Dave Joyce.
