Capt. Joseph John, USN/FBI (Ret) USNA ’62, San Diego, CA is the Chairman & Director of Combat Veterans for Congress. The motivation for establishing the Combat Veteran For Congress PAC in August 2009 was to rein in the out of control of spending by an irresponsible Congress, to save the 234 year old Free Enterprise System, and to stop the aggressive drive by the Obama Administration to change the United States' Free Enterprise System into a Socialist State (Socialism and the redistribution of wealth has failed where ever it has been tried). The goal is to defend the Republic’s “Democratic Form of Government”; we seek to recruit, do the background investigation on, and endorse fiscally conservative Combat Veterans For Congress who have previously repeatedly put their lives on the line to protect and defend the US Constitution.
