Hear the personal war stories, submit your own, help get them on the air.

This week, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid stood up and demanded something we've long wanted: an honest investigation into whether the White House misled America into Iraq.

Before Tuesday, Republicans dragged their feet for over a year. But with over 2,000 troops killed, and the indictment of a top-level White House staffer for the first time in over a century, the American people have had enough of Republicans playing games with our national security. We deserve answers—and the truth.

But we can't afford to wait for Washington. Too much is at stake.

Across America we know men and women who went off to war, and the people they left behind. But people don't know their stories—because when questions about Iraq heat up, Republicans change the subject.

Help change it back. Put the truth about the Iraq war on the air:

We've collected true stories about how the Iraq war has affected Americans—stories told by people like you and me, who see first hand the toll the conflict has taken on families and communities. These stories are searing, heart-rending glimpses of the forgotten consequences of the Bush administration's botched war—and they need to be heard.

You and I can make that happen. Your contribution will put the most compelling stories on the airwaves in key congressional districts, and use the power of radio to let America hear the truth about the war.

Listen to the first sample of stories for yourself, and then put them on the air:

While Senator Reid gets into Republicans' faces at the Capitol, you and I will go on the airwaves across the country. By broadcasting the truth, we will bring the need for a responsible exit plan to the forefront. Together, we'll pressure our elected officials to take action—and force leaders in Washington to remember who this war has affected most.

You and I can make it happen. Spread the truth about the war—listen to these stories, then put it on the air:

Thank you,
Tom Hughes
