Senator Obama, On June 4th 2008, one day after clinching the Democratic nomination, you chose to appear before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Perhaps that is where the 53rd primary was held - an expected pit stop if one wants to become President of the United States. Certainly, for many reasons, Israel has a right to exist; however, selecting AIPAC as the forum where you present your Middle East policies is NOT \"change we can believe in.

I have been reading through your messages and the frustration you feel about these private lobby groups dictating our foreign policy is clear. I am currently compiling all of your stories to send directly to the Senator's office so they cannot ignore the people who actually elected them.

Seeing this groundswell of support proves that people are finally questioning why our leaders feel the need to seek approval from this lobby. It means the world to see so many of you demanding a foreign policy that reflects our own values instead of backroom politics.

Enough with the lobby money controlling our foreign policy. Time to put actual Americans first for once.

Disappointed he went there right after winning. Thought we were getting real change but its same old politics.
