The presidential primaries continue to heat up and the war in Iraq is front and center in the fight for the nomination. DFA members asked the candidates to oppose any escalation of the Iraq War, demand a swift end to the occupation, and propose a plan that brings our brave men and women home.

We continue to bring the candidates' responses directly to you with this message made especially for DFA members by Senator Barack Obama:

In 2004, we were proud to endorse Barack in our first "Dean Dozen" in his race for the U.S. Senate. Now, Senator Obama is working hard to earn your support for the White House in 2008.

Senator Obama believes it "is time to admit that no amount of American lives will resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war." His plan to bring the troops home by the end of 2008 will "pressure the Sunni and Shiite to come to the table and find peace." He challenges us to be "the generation that honors our courage" by providing the care they need when they return. Senator Obama also wants to thank you:

"I want to say thanks to Democracy for America.... if all of you are then I am absolutely confident that over time things will change. That's how change happens in America from the bottom up... So, I thank you again for your extraordinary efforts."

The road to the Democratic nomination is a long one and each candidate will be working hard for your endorsement and your vote. DFA members will continue to work together and pressure the presidential candidates on the most important issues. Victory in 2008 is up to us.

Thank you for everything you do,

Tom Hughes
Executive Director

P.S. Senator Barack Obama took the time to respond directly to you. If you like what you see and hear, I encourage you to sign up for his campaign and help in any way you can:

That said, this message should not be construed as DFA's endorsement of Senator Obama's candidacy. In the months ahead, other candidates for president will be reaching out to Democracy for America members too, because you have the power to shape the presidential primaries in a way no one else can.
