Democracy For America, the political action committee headed by Jim Dean, is raising money to put the voices of those touched by the Iraq war on the radio. Dean says these people telling their personal stories will reveal the truth about the war.

[Jim Dean 1] : "We're tryin' to bring this war home to all of America. And I think one of the ways to do that is to collect people's stories about how the war has affected their own families and themselves, their communities. And get that word out."

Dean says politicians of both parties need to be pushed to action on ending the Iraq war and these stories will help do that.

[Dean 2] : "What we're tryin' to do is push political leaders to start talking about this, in a frank - and with straight talk. They say stay the course and I say what course? You know we have an administration that makes Lyndon Johnson look like Dwight Eisenhower. But we've gotta get these folks home now because we're not getting anywhere over there right now."

Democracy for America's web site is taking donations to pay for radio ads to put the voices of those personally affected by the war on the air. The web site address is DemocracyforAmerica.com
