VFW Chief Proposes Dissolving PAC

Published October 18, 2010 8:18pm ET



Blackfive reports that Richard Eubank, commander-in-chief of Veterans of Foreign Wars, has announced a proposal to dissolve VFW’s political action committee to quiet outcry over some of the PAC’s endorsements of liberal, anti-war Democrats over Republicans, many of whom are actual foreign war veterans. Here’s the letter attained by blogger Mr. Wolf:

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.
