Here is a copy of an Email that I sent to the VFW National Headquarters info@vfw.org and to the VFW Washington Office at cwells@vfw.org
Sirs,
Once again, it appears that our service people are being treated as if they are second-class citizens and being disenfranchised regarding their right to vote. I cannot think of a more egregious circumstance relative to basic rights for our military personnel. Please view the below referenced video:

Is our National Headquarters doing anything about this? Perhaps a Press Release and/or a request to go on the talk show circuit to discuss this issue with the American people is in order. I am outraged, and our National Headquarters should be also, yet I hear nothing from you. It is incumbent on our National Headquarters to take the lead regarding this issue.
Please inform me as to your plan to correct this problem.
Respectfully,

I let my membership in the VFW lapse a few years back, but I remain active in the American Legion....I would really like to see the leadership of both organizations get out in front, real quick on this...
