The following facts should be basic knowledge to any and every member of the American Legion, who has an obligation to know and respect the rules of the organization and to protect its integrity. And any candidate from any political party also has the obligation to know and honor those rules and not exploit the organization for political purposes.<\/p>\n<p>The American Legion was created by an act of Congress in 1919. It is a federally chartered corporation. The U.S. Code, Title 36, section 21706, states that, \u201cThis corporation shall be nonpolitical and may not promote the candidacy of an individual seeking public office.\u201d The National Constitution of the American Legion in Article II, section II, states that \u201cThe American Legion shall be absolutely nonpolitical and shall not be used for the dissemination of partisan principles nor for the promotion of the candidacy of any person seeking public office or preferment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both parties to this ad are accountable to the public for participating in it.
