                        <p>Dear Robert,</p>
                        <p>Recently <a href="http://wfc2.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=SfzLriV%2FSCJypznj%2Bx07e6fBI9YXIHBs" target="_blank">we asked you</a> to contact your member of Congress and ask him/her to sign the Dent-Price letter – a letter urging President Obama to seize the opportunity presented by the recent election in Iran to try to re-energize U.S.-Iran diplomacy.<br>

                        <br>
                        Thousands of you responded to our call, and your representatives took notice. <br>
                        <br>
                        In the end 131 members of Congress, including both Republicans and Democrats, put their names on the Dent-Price letter.  This is a major success for any letter, and an even bigger success given how radioactive (no pun intended) Iran-related issues are on Capitol Hill. <br>

                        <br>
                        A full list of the letter’s signers is below – you can check it to see if your member signed on.  And then we need you to take one more action.<br>
                        <br>
                        <a href="http://wfc2.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1Jexu7URYch1SFNyZZnFUcXdaN9oeU0T" target="_blank"><b>If your member is one of the 131 members of Congress who signed the Dent-Price letter, click here to thank them for doing the right thing</b></a>.<br>

                        <br>
                        <a href="http://wfc2.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4ZdhRwDVOIiSAhMgghGH%2FsXdaN9oeU0T" target="_blank"><b>If your member isn’t on the list of signers of the Dent-Price letter, click here to send them a message letting them know you, as a constituent, are disappointed in them.<br>

                        </b></a><br>
                        Few would have predicted that the Dent-Price letter would attract so many signers or such a diverse group.  The fact that it did so is a testament to the broad support and energetic grassroots activism mobilized in support of the letter.  Indeed, the success of the Dent-Price letter demonstrates how important it is that members of Congress hear from you – now and in the future.  Never doubt for a minute that your opinion matters to your elected officials, whether with respect to Iran, or Israel-Palestine, or any other issue.</p>

                        <p>Sincerely,<br>
