The goal is to prevent and reverse the escalation of the war in Afghanistan, bring the troops home now, and take care of them when they get here.</div> http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1353 http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1341 <div class="text blurb">By many reports, President Obama is planning on further escalating the war in Afghanistan. We need to act locally, all across the country, to tell President Obama, our congressional representatives, and the public at large, that we, as military families, are protesting, objecting, and resisting. It's time to bring the troops home instead.</div> http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1341 http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1339 <div class="text blurb">An in-depth fact sheet, including linked references, to accompany and supplement MFSO's Talking Points.</div> http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1339 http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1338 <div class="text blurb">Military Families Speak Out suggestions for how to make the case for ending the war and pulling US troops out of Afghanistan now.</div> http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1338 http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1323 http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1323 http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1322 <div class="text blurb"> </div> http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1322 http://mfso.org//downloads/Final_Scholarship_Ap.pdf http://mfso.org//downloads/Final_Scholarship_Ap.pdf http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1320 <div class="text blurb">MFSO will have it's first ever Member Assembly in conjunction with the Veterans for Peace Convention in College Park, MD</div> http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1320 http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1318 <div class="text blurb">The Senate Armed Services Personnel Subcommittee is holding a hearing on June 3rd, in Washington DC on Military Family Programs in Room SR-222 of the Russell Senate Office Building.

Instead, they have been sent and re-sent to wars of occupation. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are denying the Iraq and Afghan people the ability to determine their own future. The best way for Congress and the President to uphold our country’s values and honor our troops’ commitment and sacrifice is to bring the troops home now and let the Iraqi and the Afghan people decide their own course.</div> http://mfso.org//downloads/MFSO Talking Points May 2009.pdf http://mfso.org/article.php?id=1291 <div class="text blurb">The war in Iraq was wrong to begin with and it is wrong today.
