FEBRUARY 26 GALA EVENT

In August 2009, the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC a Non Profit and Un-Affiliated PAC was founded by Congressman Barry M. Goldwater Jr., Reverge Anselmo, and Capt. Joseph R. John to support two fiscally conservative Combat Veterans For Congress in two different states. The PAC was filed with and approved by the Federal Election Commission on November 8, 2009, and we have increased our endorsement to 26 Combat Veterans For Congress in 15 states. We are currently communicating with 21 additional Combat Veterans in 20 new states to determine if we can endorse their candidacy. We first ascertain if the candidate is a Combat Veteran then decide if they will support our PAC’s Mission Statement. We ensure at the time we endorse them that they are not running against another Combat Veteran in their primary, that their backgrounds are clear, and the proposed candidates other areas are explored to determine if the PAC can endorse a new Combat Veteran For Congress. By developing a relationship with many veterans’ organizations nationally, we are trying to mobilize many of the 26 million veterans as possible to support the Combat Veterans For Congress.

My personal motivation for establishing the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC was to recruit Congressional candidates who will rein in the out of control spending by a fiscally irresponsible Congress, to save the Free Enterprise System, and to stop the aggressive drive by the Obama Administration to change the United States’ 234 old Republic into a Socialist State. (Socialism and the redistribution of wealth has failed in every country where it has been tried.) In order to defend the Republic’s “Democratic Form of Government,” the PAC is seeking and endorsing fiscally conservative Combat Veterans For Congress who have previously put their lives on the line in the support and defense of the U.S. Constitution.”

THE FUNDRAISING EVENTS

Combat Veterans For Congress held its first fundraising event on February 26th and will hold one more fundraising event on September 18th. The first fundraising event was held in a beautiful Malibu estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. All proceeds for the three events will be used to support the campaigns for the Combat Veterans For Congress. We have arranged very heavy security for each of the three events with active and retired plain clothes police detectives, sheriff’s deputies, and other law enforcement officers. The Tea Party Express national organization has made an offer of support, John Phillip Sousa, IV, who is a well known artist, made an offer to donate an American Flag painting to raffle off, and Kazanjian Bros, Inc. donated their fine jewelry creations for a silent auction for the February 26th event.
