Bias

There is a significant amount of criticism targeting the American Legion, not least of which being their overtly conservative political views not pertaining to the military. Many would say this is inappropriate for a congressionally chartered organization like the American Legion. There should at least be some mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wils4581 (talkcontribs) 03:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

It can be included if you can find some reliable sourcing for the claims. QueenofBattle (talk) 03:19, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Absolutely true. The American Legion is largely a right-wing pressure group masquerading as a veterans' organization. As one should expect given its openly-fascist early years. 24.214.230.66 (talk) 17:32, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Wow - talk about your own bias, why don't you? 155.84.57.253 (talk) 20:25, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

List of American Legion buildings; need help

I added a link to List of American Legion buildings. It is a list-article of American Legion meeting place buildings and other types of buildings that meet Misplaced Pages individual notability standards. There are about 35 such buildings that are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It happens the list-article is under some attack, by one or two editors seeking to remove it from mainspace or to erase mention of various known-to-be-notable buildings. Help developing the list-article and responding in any new AFD or other attacks would be appreciated. --doncram 02:24, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
