The following message has just been transmitted to the White House
Dear President Obama.
The Alliance of Egyptian Americans is very disappointed and highly concerned about the apparent shift in US position on the Egyptian crisis. Just one or two days ago you personally publicly declared that the “transition must be meaningful and must begin now”. Yet Secretary Clinton and Ambassador Wisner talking to the Munich meeting seem to suggest giving Mubarak months to manage the transition himself?
This totally unacceptable to the Egyptian American community.
The Alliance backs Dr. ElBaradei’s position announced at CNN Program GPS today of a three person presidential council taking over from President Mubarak Today to start the transition. They would dissolve the current fraudulently elected parliament, suspend the current constitution and draft a temporary constitution, form a care taker technocratic cabinet to run the day management of the country. During one years time a permanent modern secular constitution is to be drafted and ratified and preparing for parliamentary and presidential election.
Regards
Mahmoud Elshazly
