When will folks learn that putting a "Support the Troops" yellow ribbon on their car doesn't mean jack s***?
When will they learn that the focus of their anger should be the Congress, not the troops and their families?
When will the come to understand that,favor the war or not, these are our children who are dying over there and they deserve better - mostly they deserve to be sent to war only as a last resort?

find allies!
With all of the thousands of groups out there, how can you know where you best fit in?
Let us help! Scroll down to see a list of some of the biggest, best, and brightest organizations in working on the Iraq War.
To help you learn more about these groups, we’ve added a “review board” feature, where volunteers who’ve worked with a group before can report back on their experiences.
It’s kind of like “consumer reports” but for volunteers, instead.
( Note: Know of a group active around the war in Iraq, that’s not listed here? Drop us a line, and tell us about them! )
