Did you know that our Federal Goverment charges surcharges on all overseas calls made to our troops serving overseas The goverment has the right to send our soldiers over there, keep them for 15 months and not pay for their calls home. The Soldiers and their families pay for the minutes to call home. If a spouse or child wants to call their father serving in iraq or afghanistan they have to pay an average of 1.99 a minute and then a federal international surcharge on top of that. All calls should be free but since this isnt a perfect world and thats not going to happen, there shouldnt be a surcharge of any sorts. Lets spread the word and get this taken care of. Sign if you agree this is wrong.
THIS MOMENTUM IS ABSOLUTELY EXPLOSIVE AND IT SHOWS THAT PEOPLE REFUSE TO LET OUR TROOPS PAY TO SPEAK WITH THEIR LOVED ONES!! THE ENERGY BEHIND THIS MOVEMENT IS UNSTOPPABLE AND WE ARE GOING TO KEEP PUSHING UNTIL THESE UNFAIR CHARGES ARE GONE FOREVER!!

My brother is on his third tour and the phone bill is killing us. Nobody should pay extra to talk to their own family while they are defending this country.

So glad someone is doing this. My son calls from base and we struggle every month just to cover the fees. It really adds up when you miss them so much.

This is just shameful. They give everything for us and the government wants to squeeze them for change on a phone call. STOP IT.
