Afghanistan

Eli and Seth Lovell, twin brothers who were deployed to Afghanistan together, share how together they pulled through serving overseas and how they both support President Obama. Both Eli and Seth support President Obama because the President has stood by veterans and the President brought an end to the Iraq war—while Mitt Romney has and will continue to fail the commander-in-chief test.

As Eli shares: "So when Mitt Romney said that leaving Iraq was tragic I did think that was concerning. And as a veteran I took a lot of offense to Governor Romney's 47 percent comments and I don't think he did take into consideration that the 47 percent includes veterans that have served overseas and given up a year or more of their lives to serve their country."

Voiceover: "A decade of war that cost us dearly and now for president a clear choice. President Obama ended the Iraq war. Mitt Romney would have left 30,000 troops in Iraq and called bringing them home tragic. Obama's brought 30,000 soldiers back from Afghanistan and has a responsible plan to end the war. Romney calls it Obama's 'biggest mistake'.

LABOLT: President Obama's Delivered, Romney's Offering "Blunder & Bluster" On Foreign Policy

Mitt Romney has insulted our closest allies, rushed to judgement without facts while Americans were under attack, called Russia—not al Qaeda, our greatest threat, called the Iraq withdrawal "tragic", and didn't even mention Afghanistan in his convention speech.

Dear Mr. President,

My name is Ian.

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and I am ten years old. I really hope that I can meet you someday because I would like to shake your hand and thank you for bringing my dad home from Iraq.

As President Obama gears up to officially accept his presidential nomination at the 46th Democratic National Convention, he will kick-off the "Road to Charlotte" tour with grassroots events in Iowa, Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina On the "Road to Charlotte" tour, the President will continue to lay out what's at stake for the middle class in this election -- the choice between continuing to move forward to an economy built to last that's grounded in a strong middle class, and going back to the same "top-down" economic policies of the last decade that crashed our economy and punished the middle class.
