NOW IS THE CHANCE FOR YOU TO SPEAK OUT
In just a few days, Bush will give his State of the Union address, where he'll distort his record to paint the best picture he can for his reelection campaign.
But we know the real story.
Help us tell the real state of America's working families. Tell us your story about how your family, your neighbors, and your community have felt the sting of Bush's policies. Have you:
* Lost your job or seen local businesses forced to lay workers off? * Seen healthcare costs skyrocket? * Seen important services cut by state or local government? * Been forced to pay higher college tuition?
Click the link below to tell us your story and we'll publish a compilation of the best ones on the web in a special report detailing the real state of America's working families.

We'll publish the stories anonymously and share them with Democratic leaders in Congress for use on the House and Senate floor during debates. Send your story today!

Less than a year ago, Ismael Mohammed Juwara lived high in the food chain of President Saddam Hussein's Iraq. He was a secret policeman feared and respected among his comrades and in his hometown, enjoying a cornucopia of privileges from the government. Now, as he scrapes out a living by selling diesel fuel illegally, he is a pariah in the new Iraq. "We were on top of the system. We had dreams," said Juwara, a former member of the Mukhabarat, the intelligence service that reported directly to the now-deposed president. "Now we are the losers. We lost our positions, our status, the security of our families, stability. Curse the Americans. Curse them."And of course there's bin Laden and Saddam - they've certainly suffered reverses.
