As a Life Member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars I was astounded when the VFW Political Action Committee endorsed Congressman Gerry Connolly. Mr. Connolly very simply does not share either the views or the values of American Veterans that I know. Apparently it enraged the rank and file of the VFW to such a degree that the Commander-in-Chief of the VFW called for those endorsements to be withdrawn. When the PAC board (separate from and not financially supported by the membership) refused to withdraw the endorsements – the Commander-in-Chief moved to dissolve the VFW PAC.
Here is the link to the explanation at the VFW site: http://www.vfw.org/News-and-Events/Articles/Statement-from-VFW-National-Commander-on-the-PAC-situation/
The VFW PAC endorsement of Gerry Connolly is meaningless.
November is coming.
