ABC News and NowPublic want to know: What would you do about Iraq?

Iraq in the New Year: What would you do?

ABC News and NowPublic are interested in hearing from you, to
find out what you think should happen to resolve the Iraq crisis in
2007.

We'll be collecting opinion videos from contributors like you -
in addition to showing up on NowPublic, there's a chance your video may
appear on ABC's Be Seen, Be Heard online news segment, as well as on flagship network news shows like Good Morning America and World News Tonight.

If you have a video camera or a mobile phone with video
capabilities, here's an opportunity to have your opinion seen all
across the world.
All you have to do is sit down in front of your camera, hit the start
button, and answer this question:
What would you do to fix the Iraq problem?

No one yet knows how the situation in Iraq will change - will
the Democrats force President Bush to scale back the war once they take
control in January? Will the situation on the ground improve on its
own, or get worse? None of these questions have an answer yet.

But here's one you can answer:

What would you do?

You can also send any questions you may have about what's going on in Iraq and an ABC Baghdad reporter may answer them on air.

If you have a video camera or a mobile phone that can record
videos, we want to hear your opinions. In 45 seconds or less, look
straight into the camera and tell us your honest, frank opinion.

How To Record Your Opinion

At the beginning please say your first name, city and state you
live in, and then launch into your opinion. Make sure you are in a
quiet, well-lit location, and if you do not have an external
microphone, make sure you are close enough to the camera to be heard
clearly (but not so close you are out of focus!). About 3 feet is just
about right - enough to see your head and shoulders.

Uploading Video and Sharing It

Once you have recorded your material, transfer it to your
computer according to the instructions provided in your camera users
guide.
Then upload it right to this story. Just click on the "Add Photos and
Videos" link to the right and follow the simple instructions.
Please write a suitable caption - like "My Opinion" and your name, then
tag your story, "Iraq2007".

That's all there is to it!

The videos will be released on December 4, 2006 and will be seen here and at ABC News Be Seen, Be Heard

Any questions? please let us know.
