Since 2014, VetFuel™ Inc., a 501-c3 charity started with help from Yale Law School’s Jerome N. Frank Legal Clinic, has built a movement to improve health for impoverished, disabled, elderly, & otherwise infirm veterans.

We believe that veterans can achieve restorative justice & have the right to choose their own lives without being held back by a criminal record, with some exceptions. Veterans deserve the opportunity to reintegrate into society without unfair obstacles in finding jobs, housing, education, or medical care. Moreover, they should be able to seal or erase their criminal records under federal & state laws, regaining their civil rights without facing arbitrary and / or capricious barriers that vary by state.

Choice is the vehicle of Liberty. A choice to remove barriers to veteran criminal pardons decreases years of projected life lost in the veteran community. Reduction in years of projected life lost begins with the restoration of pre-conviction civil rights, resulting in complete physical, mental & social well-being, not merely the absence of infirmity.

VetFuel™ Inc. ensures dignity, freedom, honor, & liberty for all those who would seek it. No honorably discharged veteran should have to fill out an indigence statement to apply for a rap sheet waiver. Similar to the Connecticut D.M.V. registration renewal fees, the veteran rap sheet waiver request should have a legislatively approved veteran waiver segment not attached to a publicly shaming statement of poverty given to the arresting authority.

We reserve the right to refuse advocacy services to any person charged with or convicted of any crime involving: Arson, burglary, all crimes against minors under the age of 21, the elderly, domestic animals, embezzling, extortion, forgery, fraud, (including SNAP / Medicaid fraud), home invasion, intimate partner violence not related to self-defense, kidnapping, robbery, stalking, terrorism, treason, vehicular assault, & voyeurism.
