Dear Congress: Don’t sabotage diplomacy with Iran

Please back President Obama's diplomatic approach to Iran. Now is not the time to undermine negotiations with calls for increased sanctions or unrealistic demands for a final deal. Don't lead us down a path that could lead to another senseless war in the Middle East.

Why is this important?

Breaking News: The negotiations with Iran have been extended. This is progress and means that a final agreement will be stronger. The diplomatic talks with Iran are good for our national security. They’ve frozen Iran’s nuclear program and opened it to daily inspections. The talks are also helping forge important alliances to help deal with the crisis in Syria and the rise of ISIS. These are real and crucial outcomes achieved by level headed talks.

Despite this, people like Lindsey Graham and John Mccain are trying to undermine the negotiations because they’re stuck in a mentality that dragged us into Iraq. It’s the type of thinking where military action is the solution to almost any foreign policy dilemma. We don’t use typewriters for day to day business and we shouldn’t use 19th century thinking when it comes to modern global challenges.

The next 48 hours are critical - that’s when most people are going to decide where they stand on this issue. That’s why it’s so critical that we take action now, to publicly demonstrate that we are for diplomacy and give Members of Congress the public pressure they need to be able to keep silent or publicly support diplomacy.
