So last year in November she wrote to <a href=\"http:\/\/carson.house.gov\/\">Andre` Carson, the district&#8217;s congressman<\/a> and she got no answer.<\/p>\n<p>So the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wthr.com\/story\/13840178\/lost-records-delay-veterans-burial\">reporter Cat Anderson<\/a> shows up to ask the congressman why there was no answer&#8230;by the end of the day, they had Johnson&#8217;s records, and now he can get the burial he deserves. So the lesson of the story is to get your own reporter so your congress person can get the job done that they&#8217;re supposed to do. Otherwise, they&#8217;re too busy to respond to a nurse. Too busy sticking their noses in everyone else&#8217;s business doing shit they have no business doing. <\/p>\n<p>I dunno, if I lived in Indiana, I&#8217;d be tempted to let Carson&#8217;s office know what I think of them and thank them for doing what they should have done without the prodding of a TV news camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROS sent us this video about Arthur Johnson, a Korean War veteran who died last year &hellip; <a title=\"Veteran finally gets burial\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=21937\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Veteran finally gets burial<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-congress-sucks","category-veterans-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21937\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
