“Going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty to Help Our Veteran”

                          NO MID YEAR REPORT NEEDED

                  Yearend report to District President by April 10, 2012

                 Yearend report to Department Chairman by April 20, 2012               

 

This program is a very challenging and important program that has been underworked and under reported in years past. Legislators are very concerned about what people in their areas want and think. We should maintain contact with our officials at every level. We want them to know what we are thinking and what we need for them to pursue on issues concerning Veterans. We should get to know each of our representatives and they should get to know us. Visits to their offices, phone calls, letter writing and e-mails are important when they are working on legislative issues concerning our Veterans benefits and welfare. Encouraging non registered voters to register is important in GET OUT and VOTE.

 Each year the VFW issues Legislative and Security Priority Goals found at www.vfw.org. Each District President has spun the wheel of fortune and been given a priority goal that her District will be responsible for promoting. I will be monitoring the progress of these promotions. I am hoping to see every district do an outstanding job of promoting all aspects of our Legislative program.

 STATEWIDE  PROJECT

V.O.T.E. (VETERANS OPPORTUNITY TO ELECT) will be our statewide project. I anticipate monthly reports from each chairman, Auxiliary president or district chairmen. Your method of reporting will be up to you and is required in a timely fashion No exceptions or excuses.
