Patricia Foulkrod spent two years creating The Ground Truth, which the Los Angeles times hails as "a thoughtful, sensitive film, perhaps the most emotionally wrenching of all the Iraq documentaries." The Village Voice calls Robert Greenwald's film, Iraq for Sale, "a trenchant indictment of war profiteering in Iraq and a memorial for those not included in the military's death toll."

During a time when two new polls show the Iraqis want US troops out of their country yet Congress unanimously voted to allocate 70 billion dollars for the war in Iraq, we need to ramp up the pressure and let our current candidates know we will not allow such injustice to continue. Our house parties will raise awareness and create community during the month of October so we'll be organized and energized and ready to make change during the November elections. Please join us—together we'll inspire our communities to create a more just and peaceful future.

Party on, Peacemakers!
