CHER quoted from DECEMBER 2010 VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE

page 221...

"A large portion of Cher's charitable work is devoted to veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I was buying helmet inserts for the guys who were in Iraq. Football players have more protection on their heads than the guys over there do."

ONE OF HER IMMEDIATE GOALS IS TO JOIN OBAMAS' VETERANS TASK FORCE.

The outspoken Cher said...

"I would be willing to pay a lot more taxes, because I make a lot more money, but I don't want to give them more to just ...things up more... It really should fall on people like me to get together and do things to help the people in this country. If you're not worrying about how to put food on your table, you (should be) worrying about why other people don't have food on their table. I remember a great American where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas."

OUR HOMELESS VETERANS NEED JOBS

I'm not sure why the homeless include a great number of veterans. Some people say they come back from the military - from war - having "cracked." But I think there may be more to it than that. There is a prejudice against disabled people in general when it comes to employment.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE THE POWER TO REDO! We believe that it is better for an employer to hire a DISABLED PERSON here in the United States than to export the work to India or somewhere else!

This is a tough one we know, but we are sure there ARE INCENTIVES FOR HIRING THE DISABLED!
