Today is the five-year anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq. More than four million Iraqis have fled their homes. That's one out of every seven Iraqis - the equivalent of 42 million Americans displaced in the United States.

The U.S. and international media are increasingly reporting on this humanitarian disaster. The Wall Street Journal, on Monday, published a front page story on the crisis. Yet our own President has yet to even publicly acknowledge it. 

Send President Bush a copy of the Wall Street Journal article and tell him that it's past time to pay attention to Iraq's more than four million refugees.

The fifth anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq underscores the U.S. government's moral obligation to lead the international response to this crisis. These refugees have fled their homes and live in desperate conditions: struggling to find food, shelter and medical care, and fearful of the dangers, or even death, that they will face if they return.

This is the worst displacement of people in the Middle East since 1948. And according to the International Organization of Migration, only one percent of these refugees and internally displaced people have returned home. The crisis is not going away

The President must make the plight of Iraqi refugees a priority

Send President Bush the news: There's a refugee crisis and we must do more.

Your continued support is essential if the U.S. is to provide a lifeline to more Iraqis who have been forced to flee their homes. We can't thank you enough.
