Barack Obama: What's going on here?

Military Families United has found some funny business going on at the President-Elect's web site. The P-E's got some 'splainin' to do here. MFU needs your help to get to the bottom of this mystery. The P-E's must have an rational explanation for pulling a fast one online. In fact, he's probably got several constantly changing explanations...

President-Elect Barack Obama withdraws Iraq agenda from Change.gov website

Today President-Elect Barack Obama removed his Iraq and Afghanistan policy agenda from his transition website. We, as the Military Families and supporters of the brave troops fighting overseas are asking,

"Does this represent a shift in Mr. Obama's position on Iraq?"

We also want to know whether this means that, in light of the information he received during his national intelligence briefing last week, he will now be allowing our troops to finish the mission in Iraq?

Military Families United has always stood up for our troops and their families. America's troops and their families have a right to know where the man that America just elected to be president stands on these issues. His promises throughout the campaign made it clear that he was going to begin pulling out of Iraq when he became President. His "Agenda" page on the Change.gov website reflected these sentiments until this week, when they were mysteriously erased from the website. Our military families just have one simple question… Why?

Contact President-Elect Barack Obama’s office today to tell him what you think. Make sure you tell him you are a proud supporter of our military families and Military Families United. It is important we get as many supporters of our military to ask him these questions and that we encourage him to give us a clear answer.

Sincerely,

Brian Wise

Executive Director
