Below Explains the Use of the Fere's Doctrine.........

Since December 1950, American servicemembers have been denied "equal

protection" under the United States Constitution as a result of the U.S.

Supreme Court's decision known as the "Feres Doctrine". This law, prohibits

servicemembers with legitimate claims of "intentional torts and medical

malpractice", arising from service to our nation, access to the federal

judiciary to address these type of injuries/injustices. In all, the doctrine

allows for human/constitutional rights violations and corruption within the

United States Armed Forces to go unchecked.

Our goal is to reform the "Feres Doctrine" by educating the American public

of its virtually unknown existance, by initiating a five year, fifty state,

petition drive. Our specific goals include, (1), compelling the U. S.

Congress and President to reform the law to prevent future

human/constitutional rights violations of servicemembers who report fraud,

waste and abuse for the good of the nation, and (2), passage of "special

legislation" to financially compensate servicemembers and/or their surviving

family members, who can prove a bona fide injury/injustice by the

preponderance of the evidence, under the doctrine was denied judicial

review, due to this wrongly decided U.S. Supreme Court decision.

For example, some issues we believe are directly connected to the doctrine's

"incident to service" bar on "intentional torts and medical malpractice"

include, but are not limited to the following: (1) Atomic testing, (2) LSD

testing, (3) Agent Orange, (4), Anthrax vaccines, and (5), human rights

abuses within the military's mental health system to silence and discredit

servicemembers who report fraud, waste and abuse for the good of the nation.

Overall, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands if not millions of

former military personnel, have been denied equal protection under the U.S.

Constitution to protect their careers and liberty interests, due to

malicious "political decisions" of military/civilian leaders in the

Department of Defense, in the wake of the "Feres" decision.

Upon the completion of our Petition drive, its demands and signatures will

be forwarded to the Congress and President of the United States for

appropriate action.
