DAV Ratings


I used to get a lot of their mail sent to me - asking for donations. I even contributed once or twice - then I read some place that they spend an inordinate amount of their income, not on Disabled American Veterans, but on more fund raising. So I stopped contributing and now I don't hear from them anymore. But maybe they do a better job now on getting their funds to the people who need it.

At any rate, what this post is all about is their ratings of Congressional and Senatorial Representatives support for Veterans health issues. The J-Walk blog did the analysis - here's a clip.

John McCain, being a veteran and POW, should have a rating, right? Wrong. He, along with two others, has a score of 20 (out of 100). The others are Larry Craig and Michael Crapo. Only one representative has a lower score, Chris Cannon. He scored 0.

Obama's rating is 80.
