| The Political Action Committee (VFW-PAC) program is designed to fufill the following goal: |
- To enable the VFW and Ladies Auxiliary to support candidates for election to federal office in the United States who have taken responsible positions on issues involving national defense and legislation pertaining to our nation’s veterans.
|
|
| History: |
- The VFW-PAC was formed in 1979. According to federal law, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States cannot legally endorse candidates. Establishing a Political Action Committee paved the way for the VFW to represent veterans on Capitol Hill. This committee is a separate, bipartisan organization; it endorses and supports veterans’ advocates regardless of parties. The committee is charged with the single task of working in Congress to promote legislation that supports veterans’ entitlements and a strong national defense.
