Bericht van het Obamafront: Our challenge

[Hein van Meeteren]

REPLY TO: D66 at nic.surfnet.nl

Dear Hein-

Senator Clinton and Senator McCain are reading from the same political
playbook as they attack Barack on foreign policy.

They have both criticized Barack's commitment to act against top al
Qaeda terrorists if others can't or won't act.

And they have both dismissed his call for renewed diplomacy as naïve
while mistakenly standing behind George Bush's policy of non-engagement
that just isn't working.

But most of all -- after five years of overwhelming evidence that we are
less safe, less able to shape events abroad, and more divided at home --
Senator Clinton and Senator McCain are failing to address the
consequences of a war they both supported that should have never been
authorized and never been waged.

We need a leader who had the judgment to oppose this war before it began
and who has a clear plan to end it.

But Barack is facing a two-front battle against Senator Clinton and
Senator McCain. Make a donation of $25 to support this campaign today:

We knew at the beginning of this campaign that we'd be up against the
full force of the conventional thinking that grips Washington.

But no one could have imagined it would go on this long, or that we'd
have to fight this battle on two fronts at the same time.

Senator Clinton's campaign, with her chances of winning dwindling and
our delegate lead even larger than it was before her so-called comeback
on March 4th, has adopted a "kitchen-sink" strategy to throw everything
they can at us. Her campaign has made it clear they will do and say
anything to win this nomination.

Senator McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee, is already
running his general election campaign. He's so eager to justify another
100 years of war in Iraq and drum up conflict with Iran that he and his
campaign have been making sloppy and woefully false assertions about
links between Iran and al Qaeda in Iraq.

*We've got to take on both Senator Clinton and Senator McCain at the
same time.*

Your support now is more important than ever -- please make a donation
of $25:

Yesterday, Barack laid out a clear plan to make America more secure and
end the war in Iraq.

Today, he laid out the economic costs of the war that Senator Clinton
and Senator McCain supported.

In both speeches -- and in his speech on race in America earlier this
week -- Barack Obama demonstrated that he is the candidate with the
courage and judgment to tackle the challenges we face.

The choice Americans have in this election is clear -- and your support
right now sends a message to those who support the status quo that it is
time for a new kind of leadership.

Please do what you can to help fight this two-front battle for change:

Thank you,

David
