Operation House Call is underway in Washington DC...and in Chicagoland! Operation House Call is a summer-long awareness-raising campaign to assist our lawmakers to make the right decision: Support Our Troops - Bring Them Home Now and Take Care of Them When They Get Here.
MFSO members from all over the country will maintain a vigil at the Congressional Office Building from now until Congress recesses on August 7. MFSO will do citizen lobbying of various members of Congress and selected Senators.
For those who can go to DC, please contact the National Office for further information. For those who can't - we need your involvement as well. So our various Reps and Senators don't get lonely, missing that great MFSO logo while they are in the district and traveling around Illinois, please write them...send post cards (MFSO has a supply of them! - or design your own) and give them a call. Often!
If you have a local peace group you work with, have a post card signing party....but keep those cards and letters flowing with our message. Now is also the time to consider scheduling a personal visit when our leaders are "home for the summer." They love to meet with constituents during an election season after all.
Keep our message going strong. For our reps, this is the start of the election season. Let them know that enough is enough...Not one more life ought to be lost in Iraq due to this ongoing occupation.
Show REAL Support for the Troops! Bring em Home!
For questions or if you need cards, support, etc, please email the Chicago Chapter at mfso-chicago@mfso-chicago.info.
Now get writing!
