On the 5th anniversary of the war in Iraq, please take a moment to sign the following letter and ask the American media to devote more air time to coverage of the war. According to this study by the Pew Research Center, only 3% of the news media in February 2008 was devoted to covering the war.

Help honor the sacrifice of those who have served in the past five years and demand that the media increase their coverage of the war.

Dear ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Fox News and CNN, In February, your network devoted an average of 3% of the coverage to the war in Iraq. Because of that appallingly low number, fewer people than ever before know how many American soldiers have died in Iraq, while a majority of the public knows Oprah Winfrey endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president. Our troops are still serving in hazardous conditions and encountering daily violence. We owe it to those who have served in the past five years and those who are still serving to keep the Iraq war and veterans' issues in the public eye. Make sure the Iraq war is getting the coverage it deserves. Thank you.
