Ending the war in Iraq has been DFA's priority from day one, and we will not stop until every soldier is home. Now we're at another critical juncture. On September 11, General Petraeus is expected to report to Congress on the success of the "surge" in Iraq. He's supposed to outline our progress and our setbacks over the past few months. But, we already know that's not going to happen. The General's report is going to "actually be written by the White House, with inputs from officials throughout the government."¹ President Bush will try to mislead the public again with a whitewashed progress report from Iraq. We won't let him get away with it. America needs the truth about what's happening in Iraq. The media must be stopped from blindly "reporting" more positive spin from the Administration. Start: 00:00

Today's the day! It's National, nationwide, Act on Iraq day, a campaign for a national call-in day to Congress to end the Iraq War. What do you believe? (1) Do you believe that the Iraq War has distracted us from the real war on terror, and has diminished American influence and standing in world affairs? (2) Do you believe that the death of even one more American soldier in this unnecessary war is too many? (3) Do you believe that the $177 million we spend each day on fighting a misguided, poorly planned war is a national travesty? (4) Do you believe that the Iraq War has made us less safe by straining our military to the breaking point, pulling our focus from Afghanistan where Al Qaeda has rebuilt its forces, and fostering the recruitment of hundreds if not thousands of martyrs aligned against the U.S.? (5) Do you believe that Congress has denied the overwhelming will of the American people to end the war? Start: 15:00
