We are not waiting until March.

The VFW and major VSOs failed us. Our "Ghost Advocacy" investigation proved that after Senator Wicker blocked the Major Richard Star Act in October, the VSOs went silent. No meetings. No fights. Just "quiet diplomacy" that costs you money.  

We are calling for the #VSOWalkout2026 to begin IMMEDIATELY.

We will not support organizations that refuse to fight for us. We are withdrawing our engagement, our trust, and our support starting today.

The Strategy: They have a massive conference in Washington, D.C. on March 1. If we wait until then, it’s too late. We need them to bleed now. We need them to see the drop in support, the anger, and the cancellations every single day leading up to that event. By the time they arrive in DC, they need to be desperate to win us back.

The Evidence: We have published the full breakdown of their failure—and the financial hypocrisy of the politicians they refuse to challenge—in our new article.

Don't wait for a signal. The signal is their silence. Walk out now.
