Those endorsements of liberals are starting to cause some pain – from Blackfive:
I have reviewed the Political Action Committee (PAC) Board of Directors’ response to our request to rescind this year’ s Congressional endorsements. I disagree with their assessment.
It is now evident to most of the VFW leadership, both National and especially the departments, that the VFW has been subjected to extreme negative publicity throughout the nation, and the recent endorsement decisions have, in fact, harmed the VFW’ s reputation and future ability to fulfill our mission.
I cannot let this erosion of public support for our great organization continue. The apparent lack of the committee to address these concerns will lead to a proposal by me, as Commander-in-Chief, to amend the by-laws at the 112th National Convention for the purpose of dissolving the PAC. Meanwhile, under the authority granted to me as
Commander-in-Chief in section 619 of the VFW National By-Laws and under section 620 of the Manual of Procedure, I am withdrawing all PAC appointments effective October 15, 2010.
Accordingly, I’ m asking the council for a vote of “ no confidence” in the VFW PAC as indicated on the enclosed ballot.
To: National Council of Administration
From: Richard L. Eubank, Commander-in-Chief
Date: October 14, 2010
I am glad to find that the leadership of the VFW is acting to promptly and decisively to deal with the issue of the VFW endorsing candidates who don’t represent the values of the rank-and-file membership of the VFW. I was astounded to hear that Harry Reid had got the VFW’s endorsement, disgusted when I found out about the endorsement of Nancy Pelosi. Now it appears that the VFW PAC was off the ranch, and that explains it all.
