Program accomplishments

  • Campaign activities were conducted on two bus tours during October 2024 in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. The first tour involved approximately 30 volunteer members; the second approximately 15 members. On these tours, the Organization endorsed six candidates for the House of Representatives, two Senators, and the Harris-Walz ticket. During 15 campaign stops, volunteers spoke in favor of positions important to national defense, on the importance of maintaining free and fair elections, and on the need to maintain a strong and robust democracy. Members engaged with local media to highlight how the elections had become a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Members leveraged the credibility and trust Americans have in former national security leaders to educate the public on the dangers of electing anti-democratic candidates and the importance of electing responsible and reasoned leaders who would protect democratic norms and preserve our nation's global leadership position.
    Expenses $90,526
  • The Organization ran a robust communications program throughout 2024, including both travel events described previously. The program included funding to assist with research and writing, production of a series of videos to help potential donors/members understand the Organization's mission and issues the Organization promotes; and recruitment of unpaid volunteers to work with Organization members to create OpEds, and talking points for speeches. The communications program supports the Organization's web page and social media activity. The Organization endorsed the Harris/Walz ticket for President with a press release in mid 2024. Volunteers wrote and published over 200 OpEds and appeared over 150 times in various media interviews. The OpEds appeared in some 300 publications.
