A special offer from Military Families Speak Out: We are pleased to offer all members and supporters of Iraq Veterans Against the War 4 free postcards that we will hand-deliver to President Obama, your two Senators and your Representative with the message "Bring Our Troops and Our Tax Dollars Home". Go here for more information -- it is especially important that our elected officials hear from you! We will be delivering these postcards as part of a lobby weekend with Friends Committee on National Legislation, co-sponsored by IVAW. For more information or to register, go here. 

The parents, spouses, siblings and other family members of IVAW members have often had a strong voice within Military Families Speak Out. If your loved ones share your views on the war and want to connect with other military families and take action, please invite them to join Military Families Speak Out  here . 
 
We also welcome IVAW members and supporters near Los Angeles to take part in a civil disobedience with veterans, military families and gold star families on March 19th. Go here for more info, or contact our local chapter planning the event at MFSO-OC@earthlink.net
