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

YES! Praise the Lord!!! I sure hope Fiorina uses this in her ads against the ghastly Boxer. In fact, they should have the ads on the air by this evening.

Awesome. Like termites, liberals work tireless to undermine once solid foundations of organizational structures. Let’s hope the dissolution of this PAC results in these lefties losing their jobs.

During the Angle / Reid debate:
REID: I've been endorsed by the largest military organization in the country, the Vet'rans of Foreign Wars.
Of course, that was the VFW-PAC, not the larger organization...

After Boxer’s disrespect to the General testifying before the Senate, the VFW had absolutely no business endorsing this witch. Shame on them.

From what I’ve read of some politicians supported by the PAC I think this is a good thing. It’s almost as if some leftists have infiltrated the PAC.

Thanks for the ping.

Proper action taken. Need more vets running stuff to cut through the crap and make these kinds of decisions. Screw what anyone else thinks or says about it, just do it.

Many years ago every VFW watering hole had one of these.

Leftist continue to take over conservative institutions. They are but a handful of the populace but they do this all the time. That is because these “people” lie about who they are and what they stand for until they get to the position they were after. Then the leftist commie claws come out.

We on the right don’t have disingenuous people who will behave in such a reprehensible way. We don’t have rightist trolls who invade leftist organizations. Every conservative institution needs to take extreme steps to block and purge all leftists from positions of importance in their ranks.

Why did they do it in the first place? Boxer’s promises about veteran government benefits?
