Congress
needs to hear from you now.
Today,
the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has
10,000—yes, 10,000—supporters on Capitol Hill pushing a hawkish,
misinformed position on Iran diplomacy.
Don’t
let this be a one-sided debate. Tell Congress not to undermine talks with Iran.
AIPAC
has been the main proponent of the dangerous Senate sanctions bill that
President Obama threatened to veto because it could jeopardize talks with
Iran. If talks fail, we could be headed down a path to war with
Iran.
You
and thousands of people around the country heard the warning call and bombarded
Congress with messages opposing this bill. The outpouring was remarkable, and we
put AIPAC back on its heels. They backed off and said they didn’t support a vote
on the bill at this time. But they’re not giving up. They’re still
pressuring senators to cosponsor the bill, and to sign a similar letter that
tries to micromanage the diplomatic process.
Show
Congress the political stakes of jeopardizing this opportunity for peace. Take action now.
We
have allies in Congress who are standing up for diplomacy. But they can’t
withstand intense pressure from AIPAC and groups like them if we meet their
aggressiveness with silence. Pro-peace groups around the country are mobilizing
today, and we need your voice. Take action.
Thank
you.
