Skelton - Thank you for your support of HR1424 (The Paul Wellstone Equitable Treatment Act for Mental Health and Addiction) It is very much appreciated. ~ Dan Duncan National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse - St. Louis 2008-01-17T00:14:51Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-17:/comment/241 whispering_eagle Dear Rep. Ike Skelton, My name is Debra G Carter and I live in the small town of Stover, MO. I am also a 100% Service Connected Disable Woman Veteran and have recently been very concerned about the LCpl Maria Lauterbach case in the news. She was the Marine that was murdered because she was raped by a fellow marine. I am also a member of a group of women veterans called VETWOW (www.vetwow.com) and am also a MST survivor. MST stands for Military Sexual Trauma. From 1971 until 1976, I was enlisted in and served in the US Army and during that time I was raped by my commander and a group of his officer friends. I was unable to find anyone to help me when I reported this situation and was harrassed and persecuted daily by my command and the people in it. I began filing my claim for PTSD in 1976 after being discharged under honorable conditions, but and was turned down many times. I finally received a rating in 2003 for the PTSD and IBS. I have many other medical problems and am also a Ft McClellan veteran who was exposed to chemical contamination while I was in basic training at Ft McClellan, Alabama in 1971-72. You can then understand that my main concern is for the support of the health care that women veterans receive. Recently it came to my attention that a bill named HR4107 Women Veteran's Health Care Improvement Act is To amend title 38, United States Code, to expand and improve health care services available to women veterans, especially those serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes. This bill I believe will go a long way in helping other women veterans who are the survivors of MST and will additionally improve all health care for all women veterans, of which I am one. I urge you to vote to support the passage of this bill for myself and any other women veterans who may benefit from it. If you would like to contact me personally you can call me at my home (573) 377-2061. I would be happy to talk to you one on one to assist in you knowing my experiences and why these things which are often overlooked are extremely important. Thank you for your time and I hope that you will consider my request carefully and whole heartedly. Sincerely, Debra G.

I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above, namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit of happiness” dream. For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me, controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence. It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body. My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately. I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter. As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every move 24 hours a day.
