Veterans' Alliance for Security and Democracy
(Redirected from Veterans’ Alliance for Security and Democracy)
Template:More citations needed The Veterans' Alliance for Security and Democracy (VETPAC) was a multi-candidate political action committee in the United States between 2004 and 2020.[1]
VETPAC endorsed, actively supported and helped fund candidates for national office who they felt shared their principles of security and democracy. These candidates were often (but not always) Veterans and Fighting Dems.
In March 2006, the group endorsed Mike Thompson's plan for redeployment in Iraq. Dubbed the "Change the Course" policy emphasized a massive increase in training of Iraqi forces using Allied training capability outside Iraq.
In August 2006, the VETPAC joined Max Cleland to speak out against the "swiftboating" of John Murtha.
