Stick It!

A Press Release About words uttered by Senator Obama....

ADC is extremely disappointed in Senator Obama’s remarks about Jerusalem and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East made last week in Washington DC before the lobbying group AIPAC. ADC calls on its members and supporters to express their dismay by using the following talking points:

1. We believed Senator Obama when he said lobbying groups will NOT dominate his foreign or domestic policy, yet the Washington Post wrote last week that Obama was already pandering to powerful interest groups.

2. We believed Senator Obama when he said he believed in diplomacy and negotiation; yet, last week he stated that Jerusalem will be the undivided capital of Israel. U.S. policy has always held that the issue of Jerusalem should be negotiated between Palestinians and Israelis.

While we believed Senator Obama when he spoke of dialogue and diplomacy with Iraq’s neighbors in order to end the Iraqi war, he has already recanted that commitment.

3. Senator Obama should not wear the flag of a foreign country. He should wear the flag of the United State of America only!

4. Arab Americans are patriotic Americans and voters. They have been Diplomats, Cabinet members, Generals in the Armed Forces, Public servants, Doctors, Journalists, Lawyers, Researchers, and active in every walk of life. They are voters in every state, especially the most battleground states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida.
