AFRW is very proud to support our troops and pledge their support only to Republicans who vote for victory and do not wave the white flag of defeat in Iraq with an artificial timeline for withdrawing from the battlefield before liberty and freedom are achieved for the Iraqi people. AFRW drafted and adopted on February 24, a resolution of support for our men and women in uniform. On March 31, in Washington, D.C., the National Federation of Republican Women Board of Directors adopted the resolution: View the resolution.
The featured speaker will be Colonel Hopper Smith, a former member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives (1996 - 2003).
