Dear MoveOn member,

John Bruhns, a former sergeant in the Army, stuck his neck out when he went to Iraq and now he's doing it again, by speaking out against the president.

He's the subject of a new TV ad made by Oliver Stone—the culmination of our VideoVets project.

Right now, the president is trying to bully Congress into submission over the Iraq Accountability Act by slamming them for "not supporting the troops." John's voice—and other Iraq veterans' voices—can counter that. They can tip the debate toward ending the war. Will you chip in $100 to help us get these vets on the air?

The ad features a voice-over by Ron Kovic—the author of Born on the Fourth of July and outspoken Vietnam War veteran. And, it's already creating a buzz. With your help we can take it to the next level and make sure this ad gets played all over the country.

John said in an interview on CNN that he hopes Americans will see his ad and realize that "there are veterans that are coming home from this war that are very patriotic, that love America, but just are not going to blindly follow this president and this failed policy continually."1

Hundreds of thousands of MoveOn members have contributed to this project, submitting their stories, recording and editing the interviews, and voting to choose which story we aired. It's been an amazing outpouring.

Now we need to come together one more time to give these powerful voices a megaphone, so they can shift the Iraq debate in Washington. Our plan to air a series of ads featuring Iraq vets starting with the Oliver Stone ad will cost $150,000. Can you chip in to make it happen?
