Nita Lowey, NY-18
Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 05:25 PM I am Nita Lowey from the state of New York. Stephanie wrote from Georgia: “I know what it feels like to miss home with such a great force that it is in your every waking thought and breath. When I got back from Iraq, my husband and I were soon expecting our first child. When I was seven months pregnant, he left for Iraq. Our son will be a year old before he comes home.” We must end the stress and heartache the war in Iraq has caused our military families. Barack Obama will guarantee our troops equal time at home for length of their deployments. John McCain opposes it. Barack Obama will responsibly end the war and restore America’s leadership in the world because families like Stephanie’s can’t afford McCain’s plan to stay the course in Iraq.
