If you are looking at this page, chances are you or someone you know is a Viet Nam Veteran who has been exposed to Agent Orange. We Viet Nam Veterans have been exposed to one, if not the most lethal chemicals know to man. This chemical, 2,3,7,8,Tetrachlorodibenzopdioxin, is also known as DIOXIN. The best explaination of just how potent DIOXIN is was explained by our Austrailian Brother, Gary McMahn as, "Think of Dioxin this way; it is measured in parts per trillion. This can be roughly compared to a teaspoon of salt mixed evenly through a dump truck full of sand. The extreme toxicity of Dioxin makes even this amount a potentially lethal dose. It is the most potent cancer-causing agent known to man. The tiniest amount causes malignant tumors in animals."           The main mission of Fire Base Hope is to compile a list of names of those exposed Veterans. Then use that list to let the United States Congress and The Department of Veterans Affairs to recognize the fact that our exposure to Agent Orange is KILLING US. Also to let them know that we want the compensation that we earned by serving our country in Viet Nam. The people who make the discussions are paid by our taxes and have their jobs because we voted for them. Its time to let them know that if they think they can control our lives, we can control their destiny! On March 15, 2000, Dr. Joel Michaleck, the principal investigator for the Air Force health study on Agent Orange, also known as "Operation Ranch Hand", released his latest finding in a report to the press. In this report he stated that he and his staff have linked extreme exposure to Dioxin to Adult Onset Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease. The effected Vets have no history of Diabetes in their families. He found a 47% increase in diabetes in the Vets in his study. He also stated that the average American carries 10 parts per trillion of Dioxin, just from our environment. The Vets in his study carry 600 part per trillion. You can read his entire repot by clicking on the link above and then going to the Press Release Dated March 15, 2000.           Did you know that over the past year the 106 Congressional Committee on Veteran's Affairs did not even mention Agent Orange in their top 100 topics up for discussion. We Elected these people!! How is it our government has the funds to support deprived countries around the world, but they don't have the funds to help the Vets who have sacrificed their health to keep this country free.           If you worked for a private civilian company that out of neglect exposed their employees to a toxic chemical, the United States Government would step in and force that company to compensate those employees. Who is going to make the government comply with those same regulations? We will, by finding new people to fill the elected positions that make those decisions. The only way to do that is to let them know how many of us are serious and want changes.                                                             IF YOU WANT THESE CHANGES,           us your name, state, zip code, problems from Agent Orange, dates and units of your Viet Nam Service. Your name will then be put on our roster. That list will be used to show just how large our numbers are. You will not be obligated to vote for anyone nor will we try to get you to vote for any special candidate. We will simply keep you posted on who is willing to take our cause and you can make that decision yourself.
