Anti-war protesters plan to make their voices heard in Denver and St. Paul over the coming days, but one third-party organization is taking a different message to the airwaves during the parties' national conventions. Vets For Freedom, a group of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, released a new TV spot today urging Barack Obama to acknowledge that the surge strategy has been successful in stabilizing Iraq.

"I Am The Surge" features Gabriel Herrera, David Thul and Travis Quinlan, all of whom were deployed in Iraq during the surge. Herrera claims that Obama "credits the improvements in Iraq to anything but the surge." But, Quinlan argues, "I know the surge worked. I was there. I saw al-Qaida decimated." The soldiers encourage viewers to call Obama and ask him to support Senate Resolution 636, which "recognizes the success of the surge." The resolution is sponsored by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Joe Lieberman, I/D-Conn. -- both of whom are surrogates for John McCain and past members of the Vets For Freedom board of advisers.

Vets For Freedom chairman Pete Hegseth, who just returned from a trip to Iraq, said in a press release that the organization "will not stand by and let the incredible progress of our troops go unnoticed by the American public and lawmakers from either side of the aisle.” In addition to releasing the ad, Hegseth and Vice Chairman David Bellavia are in Denver this week to talk to Democratic leaders about what they saw on their recent trip.

"Senator Obama has said that he would still oppose the surge if given another opportunity, and has pointed to every outside factor -- but the surge -- to explain improvements in Iraq. We hope he will listen to the veterans who have served there and support this important resolution for the sake of the troops," Hegseth said.

The ad will also run in battleground states Ohio, Michigan, Virginia and Colorado for the next four weeks.
