It’s my understanding the PAC is independent of the Commander and the Board. They’ve had some problems for years but it seams this year the PAC was so outrageous in many picks for endorsements and the complaints so many that it’s forced them to take action.
It was pointed out to me yesterday that the VFW PAC endorsed Murtha for years. Many said he was a great supporter of the military but that can definitely be debated, especially in later years.
I suspect that some, if not all, of the PAC Board were bought by the DNC or by Soros. Look at the bios of the board members, they were regular joes for the most part, not high rolling fat cats. It probably did not take much money waved in front of their faces to buy their vote.
Having been a member of my corporate PAC I can attest to the fact that PAC decisions are independent.
But...we never forgot who appointed us and our goal to support the organization’s vision and goals. Importantly, we always kept leadership in the loop.
Still seems to be an oversight problem.
