Ladies’ Auxillary bails on VFW PAC
You know you’re deep in kim-chee when the VFW’s Ladies Auxillary disses you;
October 13, 2010
Dear Sisters,
In light of the VFW’s position on the most recent endorsements by the VFW Political Action Committee, effective this day, October 13, 2010, the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars is suspending all fundraising and promotion of VFW-PAC for the remainder of the year.
Any monies raised for PAC up to this date should be forwarded immediately to PAC for those purposes in accordance with the laws concerning political action committees.
Department Award No. 5 as seen in the 2010-2011 National Program Book on Page 20 is hereby suspended for the remainder of the year, and the program title will hereafter be known as Legislative.
Loyally,
Cortina Barnes
National President
Hey, Sal, how do you suppose my feet taste? Still no call back.
Thanks to Mr. Wolf (who got a call back) for the link.

Three things that when put together offer a solution to this problem-
1-The executive board of the VFW-PAC are all male members of the VFW.
2-The ladies auxiliary is pissed about this matter.
3-A lefty group tried to get young women to withhold sex unless their men supported Obamacare.
C’mon Ladies Aux, you have more power than just releasing a statement!
Like Rosie’s Riveters, Cortina Barnes steps up and does the right thing!
You Go, Cortina!!
Well looks like VFW PAC chairmen wont be partying & getting sloppy drunk in hospitality rooms at next convention. No more expensive “paid for” meaningless awards & plaques. No more pricey hotels at VFW members expense? Never understood why VFW needed a PAC in 1st place. Seems like Legion has more sense than VFW afterall.
I posted this info a few days ago havng just talked to my sister who was fresh from kc. This has been buildng for quite awhile. Last year she and several members were in dc and droped by the pac to say hi. They were told they had no say in what the pac was doing and asked to leave. Dissing one of your main sources of funds and giving the natl commander the finger. Good gameplan assholes.
Is this the best we can do. Suspend the $$$$$ and the VFW PAC. That’s it? Where’s the leadership? So much more can be done. The VFW PAC web site is still. No endorsements have been pulled. No national press release from National. Let the membership do it is their answer because it’s a local issue. It isn’t! Do we need to wait for the National convention to do this? Hello Patriots.
News from the VFW Dept of Wisconsin. It doesn’t stop folks!
Reference the “News for Today” item, among other things it includes a letter from our VFW National Comdr regarding his letter outlining action he executed regarding the VFW PAC which placed the “Feingold for Senate” full page add at the back page of the current VFW News.
I know that there were many complaints from VFW members including myself, it appeared that our VFW supported Feingold for WI Senator. That may be true for some but many of us do not support professional politicians, like me who raised a similar complaint during his last election. At that time apparently our complaint did not reach the “top” like they did this time. We have so many experts in our membership that it is hard to understand why his full page add without remarks pertaining to the VFW PAC members support could pass inspection.
Semper Fi,
