Don't Be Fooled Again



As an unpopular Congress returns to DC to make decisions regarding our loved ones futures, one Gold Star Mom speaks out in response to a new "stay the course" campaign funded by Washington powerbrokers in a bid to shore up support for a war that the voters do not support.

Multiple, lengthy deployments, rising casualty rates among US Soldiers and dismal progress on meeting the Presidential benchmarks on "success" in Iraq are combining to further erode voter support ahead of a critical funding bill.

Our message is simple: Funding the War is Killing Our Troops. Support our Troops - Bring Them Home NOW and Take Care of Them When They Get Here.
