[] One way to get involved is write a letter to the president about military spending. Express your feeling s and give facts about why it’s important our troops come home. It would benefit everyone if the government would cut military spending. Maybe then the families could have more money to actually send to their other family members fighting in the war instead of trying to buy food for themselves and trying to worry about shipping food to their loved ones. In this letter, a woman writes to the president telling him she can’t afford this anymore. She is not financially stable and most Americans aren’t either because of the bad economy. [|6715|how%20to%20make%20petition||S||5941968270] On this website you can create your own petition. You can give facts on your petition and you can take it out and have people sign it to stop military spending. Explain and create a petition as to why we should stop military spending or at least cut back on the spending so we have more money to get this economy back. If so many people sign this petition it should be brought to the president’s attention to hopefully be stopped. [] On this website you can register your actions to stop the war and military spending. Veterans are ganging up to stop unnecessary military spending and bring the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan home. They have dates set up to where if you can’t go with them to Washington DC to notify the president and take a stand then you can organize different groups and conferences to help take a stand in your community. [] This website teaches you about what happened in the past and how they dealt with military spending. You could use some of these ideas and use them today. This website gives you information about how 4,000 people stood in the road to show they were against soldiers serving in the Vietnam War. Today we could have groups protest to get the governments attention that we can’t handle this anymore. The society needs to take a change and it must happen now. We can’t live like this for very much longer. [] This website allows you to join and campaign to help with the war. Even if we can’t stop it, we can help the families that are struggling. If we help the troops by donating we aren’t technically helping the war, only the troops. It’s not about war; it’s about the troops and their families. If we Americans can help the troops by donating goods and money, maybe the government wouldn’t have to spend so much money on the war and take it out of our taxes. This website also organizes anti-war events that you may attend to stop the war.
