I just got this email from Rock the Vote:
Dear Rock the Vote Supporter,
The young men and women in Iraq--our friends, our family, our peers--are fighting for you. That's what keeps them going. Are you fighting for them?
You should. You can.
Spread thin and poorly supplied, our troops are paying a daily price for mistakes in planning and fuzzy notions about how easy this occupation would be.
If you want to hear about it right from the source, check out Operation Truth. Operation Truth is the country's first and largest organization for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Rock the Vote, an organization dedicated to building political power for young people, is proud to stand with Operation Truth to give soldiers the strongest voice possible. Because if all you do is say "we support the troops," well, that and a dollar will get you a bag of chips.
Operation Truth members know what's really going on in Iraq because they were there. And they have the combat videos, intense photos and uncensored stories to prove it.
Do you know someone in the military? Send them this email and tell them about Operation Truth. Urge them to join now.
We need the Bush administration to hear the troops' concerns about everything from lack of body armor and poor war planning, to veterans' benefits and a possible return of the military draft.
Add your voice to the troops today.
Sign the Operation Truth petition and forward this email on to your friends.
Thank you,
Hans Riemer
