WILLIAM (BILL) MAC SWAIN AS A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE KWVA, INC. IS ASKING FOR YOUR CHAPTER OR DEPARTMENT SUPPORT AND FOR YOU AS A LISTED CONTACT TO TAKE THESE NOTES TO YOUR NEXT CHAPTER MEETING TO DISTRIBUTE OR READ.

MANY OF YOU HAVE RECEIVED E-MAILS SENT BY AN OPPOSITION GROUP THAT HAVE ORGANIZED AGAINST THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION AND THOSE OF US WHO ARE PART OF IT AND ARE RUNNING AS CANDIDATES FOR THE OPEN ELECTED POSITIONS IN 2008.

ALL THIS E-MAIL INFORMATION IS NEGATIVE.  IN MY CASE, THEY HAVE MADE SEVERAL UNTRUE STATEMENTS SAYING THAT I HAVE CHANGED THE BYLAWS, WRITTEN THE STANDARD PROCEDURE MANUAL AND CONDUCTED AN ILLEGAL FUND RAISER TO ALLOW THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION TO RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER THE MEMBERSHIP.

THE REAL TRUTH IS: THEY DO NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE PROPER PROCEDURES THAT MUST BE USED TO CHANGE THE BYLAWS, HOW THE STANDARD PROCEDURE MANUAL WAS DEVELOPED OR WHO AUTHORIZED THE FUND RAISER.  ALL OF THE ABOVE WERE REQUESTED EITHER BY THE BOARD OR THE MEMBERSHIP.   UPON COMPLETION BY THE RESPONSIBLE COMMITTEE THEY WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THEN PRESENTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE MEMBERSHIP WHEN REQUIRED.  YET THEY CLAIM I DID IT.  THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY MAKING FALSE CLAIMS TO DISCREDIT MY CADIDACY.

I WILL POINT OUT THAT THEY DO CONCEDE THAT I HAVE PUT IN MANY HOURS WORKING ON THE COMMITTEES AND I BELIEVE ALL THE TIME I SPENT HAS BEEN FOR WHAT IS BEST FOR THE KWVA, INC.  I CAN POINT PROUDLY TO WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHILE THE OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DO.  THEY HAVE SERVED ON THE SAME BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS I HAVE AND YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THEIR RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

I HAVE DECIDED TO RUN ON MY OWN AND NOT BE AFFILIATED WITH A PARTICULAR SLATE OF PEOPLE. IT IS MY INTENT TO WORK CLOSELY WITH ALL THOSE WHO ARE ELECTED.   IF ELECTED PRESIDENT, I DO NOT WANT TO BE OBLIGATED TO ANY SPECIAL GROUP FOR HELPING ME TO GET ELECTED.  IT IS MY GOAL TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO WORK TOGETHER AND MOVE THE KWVA FORWARD.

BOTH MY RESUME AND PURPOSES FOR RUNNING AS A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE DEPARTMENT OF  CALIFORNIA WEBSITE www.dcakwva.org AND THE TEXAS CHAPTER 270 WEBSITE www.voterinfo.com SO YOU MAY COMPARE MY QUALIFICATIONS AND REASONS FOR RUNNING TO THE OTHER CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT.  MY RESUME AND PURPOSE FOR RUNNING IS INCLUDED IN THIS LETTER FOR YOUR USE.

I KNOW THAT NOT RUNNING ON A SLATE IS A RISK, BUT I AM WILLING TO DO SO. I BELIEVE THAT ALL NEGATIVE THINGS SAID ABOUT THE NATIONAL KWVA, INC.  STEMS FROM A FEW WHO EXPECTED OR EXPECT TO HAVE THEIR WAY IN GUIDING THE NATIONAL KWVA, INC.

MY VOTES ON THE BOARD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE KWVA, INC. AND IF ELECTED AS PRESIDENT MY GUIDANCE WILL BE THE SAME.

THE CURRENT KWVA LEADERSHIP HAS MADE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BUSINESS PORTION OF THE ORGANIZATION; IT NO LONGER OPERATES ON THE FRINGE. IT MEETS ALL ASPECTS OF HOW AN INCORPORATED NON-PROFIT VETERANS ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE RUN.  WE ARE AN ASSOCIATION, NOT A SOCIAL CLUB, AND THUS WE NEED TO OPERATE AS AN ASSOCIATION.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE CHAPTERS AND DEPARTMENTS ARE THE BEST WAY TO PROMOTE THE TELL AMERICA PROGRAM AND BUILD MEMORIALS TO OUR FALLEN COMRADES, WHILE STILL TAKING THE TIME TO STOP AND REFLECT ON OUR TIME AND SUCCESSES IN KOREA.  HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS THERE MORE THAN 54 YEARS AGO

THIS LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY, THE MAILING LIST COPIED FROM THE GRAYBEARDS AND ALL PRINTING AND POSTAGE PAID FOR BY THIS CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.   HE SINCERELY REQUESTS THAT YOU DO NOT DISREGARD IT EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DECIDED WHO YOU WILL VOTE FOR.  YOUR CHAPTER OR DEPARTMENT SHOULD RECEIVE THIS INFORMATION TO HELP THEM MAKE THEIR DECISION ON WHOM TO VOTE FOR IN THIS CRUCIAL ELECTION FOR THE KWVA.

YOUR VOTES ARE IMPORTANT NO MATTER WHO YOU VOTE FOR SO PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR CANDIDATES OF CHOICE IN THIS YEARS ELECTION.  YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MOVE THE KWVA IN THE DIRECTION IT NEEDS TO GO AND I HAVE PLANS TO LEAD THE KWVA IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION.

William F. Mac Swain,
Candidate for President
