Members of Military Families Speak Out from around the country traveled to Denver and St. Paul to make their voices heard.

In meetings with delegates, interviews with the press, and demonstrations in the streets, MFSO members criticized Democrats and Republicans alike for voting again and again to fund the occupation of Iraq while denying troops and veterans the health care they need.   In an early morning meeting in Denver, MFSO members from Colorado and California  were able to tell Michelle Obama that they want the next President to bring all of our troops home from Iraq immediately and give them the care they deserve when they get here.  Other members tried to deliver the same message to Republican leaders in St. Paul.
