This Week's MOMochat: War in Libya - And What That Means to Military Families

If you caught President Obama's speech Monday night, you heard his conviction "that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America." 

Not everyone is convinced, least of all the Republicans in Congress (many of whom were urging intervention and have done a fast about-face now that the President is doing exactly what they wanted).

The Washington Post reported Monday that a Pew poll showed that 47 percent of the public thinks it was right to intervene, 36 percent say it was wrong, and 17 percent are unsure.

This week, MOMocrat regulars Donna Schwartz Mills (SoCal Mom) and Cynematic will be joined by Stephanie Himel-Nelson, another longtime MOMocrat who just happens to be a military spouse.  (See, they aren't all conservative Republicans!)  She works for a nonprofit supporting military families, although the views expressed on our show are her own.

We'll also be paying tribute to pioneering MOMocrat Geraldine Ferraro Geraldine Ferraro and the dubious candidacies of some who have followed (Michele Bachmann for President in 2012?)

Listen here Wednesday, March 31: 12:00 Noon Eastern/11:00 AM Central/9:00 AM Pacific.

Got something to say? We'll be talking live calls at  (347) 945-6465.
