War at the VFW

The Veterans of Foreign Wars Political Action Committee amazingly decided to endorse Barbara "Dumb-as-a-Box-of-Rocks" Boxer, who famously dressed down a general in a congressional hearing, and the detestable Alan Grayson in Florida.  Those endorsements did not play well with the rank-and-file VFW membership and the commander-in-chief of the VWF has issued a statement demanding a cancellation of those endorsements:

The angry tone and tenor of the telephone calls and messages being received at national headquarters make it clear that many of our members are not cognizant of the fact that VFW National By-Laws clearly stipulate that the VFW Commander-in-Chief is not authorized to direct or otherwise attempt to introduce his control over the VFW PAC. Furthermore, no membership dues or donations made to the VFW or VFW Foundation are used for the VFW PAC.

As you know, the recent endorsements by the PAC are the subject of much controversy. Unfortunately, many questions have been raised regarding VFW’s involvement in the endorsement process and the integrity of the organization as a whole. Regrettably, many of our members and supporters are disappointed and have misdirected their anger toward the VFW as having lost its purpose....

As determined in the VFW By-Laws, as the national officers, we have specific responsibilities to take definitive action when events can have a detrimental impact on the organization. It is clear to us that the current situation now demands direct action; therefore, we are requesting the chairman and the directors of the Political Action Committee immediately rescind their endorsement actions.

If they don't correct this the VFW is going to take it in the shorts on memberships and donations.
