Andy Martin says that every
veteran, from New Hampshire to California, is outraged and incensed at the
maltreatment of Illinois veterans by state authorities
Andy says that Illinois
authorities have neglected basic public health protocols for protecting
veterans from Legionnaire’s Disease
Andy calls for Governor Bruce
Rauner to take emergency action to prevent any further deaths from
Legionnaire’s Disease and to protect veterans who are being housed at the
Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy
(Chicago, IL) (February 23, 2018) New
Hampshire congressional candidate and corruption fighter Andy Martin has gone
to Chicago to demand that Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner stop neglecting
veterans housed at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy.
Andy will hold a Chicago news conference
today to charge that Rauner’s efforts to provide a safe environment, free from Legionnaires'
disease (please see link [1] below), have been a dismal failure. Veterans
continue to die from the infectious condition.
“Every veteran in America is outraged by
the incompetent care being provided to Illinois’ veterans in Quincy,” Andy
says. “In New Hampshire, we take protecting veterans seriously. The idea that
the State of Illinois can’t protect veterans from a serious public health
menace is preposterous [please see links [2] – [4] below).
“President Reagan spoke of the ‘Boys of
Point Du Hoc’ who stormed the cliffs on D-Day. I was a friend of General Ray Davis
who saved the ‘Frozen Chosin’ in what was one of the most brutal battles of the
Korean War. I have seen our men and women at war from the Mekong River to the
DMZ, from Iraq to Afghanistan. Are we to forget their sacrifices and consign them
in their final years to negligent administration at the hands of incompetent
politicians and bureaucrats in both political parties?
“Rauner is the governor, but the Democrats,
who hold a stranglehold on the legislature, are also culpable. No veteran in Illinois
or anywhere in the United States should die because of lack of proper care in a
federal or state facility,” Andy says. “In New Hampshire we had a horrible VA facility;
but we raised our collective voices to demand reform. Nationally, Congress has tried
to reform the Veterans Administration, with mixed results. In Congress, I will be
a strong advocate for veterans and for providing proper care for those few who bear
the burden of protecting the many, us.
“With all due respect, if a private
hospital neglected patients the way the State of Illinois has, the directors
would be sent to jail. The hospital would be closed. But in government there is
no accountability, there are no consequences for failure.
“I speak for every veteran across the
United States [please see Link 5] in demanding that Governor Rauner take emergency
action to end the preventable and avoidable Legionnaire’s Disease crisis in Quincy
that is a disgrace to the people of Illinois.”
Andy is a GOP candidate in New Hampshire’s
First Congressional District.
