Stop the Back Door Draft

Posted by magix | Oct 29, 2006 | Politics | 0 |

Join me in DC, 11/8 – 11/12 to lobby with Military Families Speak Out (MFSO) against the ‘back door draft‘. Those of us with sons and daughters now being expected to return to Iraq after already serving multiple tours, must compel Congress to do the right thing.

MFSO, along with Iraq Veterans Against War and Veterans for Peace are working hard to give our troops a voice in Congress and have also launched the Appeal for Redress

As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq . Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.

Our kids are dying in Iraq needlessly, please add your voice to mine and join me in DC as we confront Donald Rumsfeld and Congress with signed petitions demanding the safe return of our exhausted troops.

After two tours that young combat veteran’s mother is now an ardent peace activist and advocate for social, environmental and economic justice. MGx has matured since those early vents and ramblings and now covers relevant and important local and regional matters in addition to national and global affairs.
