Welcome to the Colorado Vets
for Freedom page
VFF seeks to have a visible
advocacy presence on Capitol Hill, and rely heavily on our
grassroots "boots on the ground" to lobby the Congress on
issues vital to troops and veterans. We are pro-mission, and
need supporters to rival the powerful anti-war groups funded by the
likes of Moveon.org and George Soros. We need to make it clear
that Americans will not stand for trading national security in
order to score petty political points.
It is clear that the results of a hasty
or premature departure from Iraq would be catastrophic not only to
the Iraqi people, but the whole Middle East and certainly the
United States. Rest assured that "withdrawal",
"Redeployment", "drawdown" or "a new strategy" are simply
sugar-coating one thing-RETREAT-and the result is American forces
defeated by Al-Qaeda on the field of battle.

I encourage all of you write a letter
or email to our U.S. Senators and House members telling
them the importance of success in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our
national security is too important to have politicians play
political football with. I have listed their names below
along with the the websites to the Senate and House.
Colorado Senators and House Members
Sen. Ken Salazar (D), Sen. Wayne Allard (R),
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-1st), Rep. Mark Udall (D-2nd),
Rep. John Salazar (D-3rd), Rep. Marilyn Musgrave
(R-4th),
Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-5th), Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-6th),

"War is an ugly thing but not the
ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and
patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much
worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a
miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and
kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stuart
Mill
