Dear President Obama;
As you begin your second four
years of the presidency and with a new Secretary of Defense, I want to
encourage you and your administration to work diligently towards bringing about
peace and justice in Israel and with the Palestinian people that live in the
West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. Being an active Democrat in our State of
Iowa and especially in our Marshall County, I have not been happy with the
progress I have seen the past four years. I, along with many other Christians
from the USA and other European countries, have not liked the way we continue
to support Israel with military arms, and the overkill and abuse that is
carried out towards the Palestinians. I would encourage you to continue to
support a two-state solution for the Palestinians and to bring about a sense of
justice for them.
Perhaps, if we had better relations with the Arab world in the Middle East, we could get some economic trade going with them. The rest of the world would begin to respect our new approach with our Muslim neighbors.
It seems to me that the military
leaders in our country, and the way they spend our money, takes away the health
needs of the poor and middle class Americans. I am not very happy about seeing
this happen, year after year here in our beloved country. Is there some way you
might be able to change this, now that you have just been reelected for four
more years?
I am a staff person for the Iowa
Peace Network, a publication that comes out every three months. If you would
like to share your thoughts with me about what I have written, I would be happy
to publish your thoughts in our publication. Thank you once again, for being
our president and for working to bring about equality for all of us, gays,
lesbians, races and ethnic groups, women in employment. We give you our support
and now may justice come to all and in our foreign policy in the Middle East
and the Holy Land. Please RSVP.
Sincere Regards,
Darrell V. Mitchell
