Breaking News: Tom Cotton wants the Iran talks to end

Please reconsider your statement that you want the Iran talks to end - we don't want to see another senseless war in the Middle East.

Why is this important?

Senator Elect Tom Cotton hasn't started his term yet but already he's trying to undermine diplomacy and drag us down a path that could lead to military action with Iran.

Fortunately, Tom Cotton's one of the first senators to come out with such inflammatory statements. If we come together and show that there is a strong public backlash to his words it will make others in Congress reconsider before taking similar positions.

We know that our voices matter on this issue - when Congress tried to torpedo the talks earlier this year we froze the bill in it's tracks. One senate staffer even told MSNBC the incredible turn around was because: "of more voters contacting the Hill with phone calls and emails, voicing opposition to the bill."
