Welcome To AVV Action
Veterans and Veteran Supporters – We need maximum voter turnout in the November mid-term elections. Veteran votes and the candidates we elect can stop the political lurch toward Socialism. See the ENDORSEMENTS Page for details.
On active duty, we all consciously served outside politics as we swore an oath to Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States, not a party or a political leader. Now as citizens and Veterans, all members of AVV understand the urgency to step forward once again in Service. We believe the oath we took did not end with our departure from military service but continues through today. We also welcome all our Veteran Supporters who have joined us!
Our nation struggles to keep our constitutional republic intact as we confront the false promises of Socialism, the manipulated algorithms that stoke hatred between communities, and the failures of our schools to educate our youth. Urgent change is needed. We seek that change through the ballot box. Every Veteran, Every Vote has tremendous collective power at the margin in our close elections through the unity of our voice, action, and VOTES.

We are a group of Veterans and like-minded supporters who, while in the Service, focused on the mission, and not politics. But after serving, we soon realized our values and interests were often poorly represented by elected leaders. We banded together to do something about it!
We established American Veterans Vote to act collectively as Veterans and Veteran Supporters to promote change with our significant number of votes through the ballot box!
We believe that Veterans are problem solvers by nature and believe in the power of teamwork. If a tough job needs to get done, Veterans typically step forward to volunteer and act!
The military is a leadership clinic from day one. As Veterans, we recognize good and poor leadership. We already lead in many aspects of community life. We believe the political space also needs the talents of Veteran leaders!
