Feature
		Pilipino Veterans Singled out by Jason Lin If you're one of those who are not too involved in politics or if you do not vote last election. Here's a chance to makeup for it. A way to help Pilipino Veterans.

The problem:
The rescission act of 1946 was passed by the 79th Congress that stated that services performed by Filipino Veterans under the US flag in World War II, "shall not be deemed active service for purposes of any law of the United States conferring rights, privileges, or benefits."

Sounds fair? This basically means that others such as German, French, & other allied veterans who fought under the US flag got noticed for their services while the Filipino Veterans were singled out.

The Solution
The Veterans Equity Act is an bill that is introduced to the 104th Congress that will ammend the Rescission Act of 1946. This means if the bill is passed it will allow Filipino Veterans to receive veterans benefits.

Asian Americans or Americans who want to help this injustice can vote to support this bill. Regrister today. You can also contact the following congressmen who have not signed on as co-sponsors for the Equity Bill.
