Vet Group Calls On Obama To Fire Alan Simpson
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/09/vet-group-calls-on-obama-to-fire-alan-simpson.php

In a letter to President Obama, Vote Vets chairman John Soltz demands that Alan Simpson lose his job as co-chair of the White House's fiscal commission. Key quote:

"n Tuesday, Senator Simpson actually put veteran's benefits on the chopping block...blaming disabled veterans for the country's fiscal situation. And for us, that is the final straw," Soltz wrote. "We ask that you remove him from his current position so that the commission can continue its work in a way that will give the military community--and all Americans--confidence in the conclusions it reaches."

(end snip)

Entire letter at the link.

Dump the whole deficit commission. Now. Simpson isn't the only one, but he should be fired for his comments. Then dump the whole commission.
