<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;font-size: 12pt;">As a sometime student of sophistry I too was puzzled by the weird taunt of Bob N. But the trajectory of Carl's recent posts appears to be in the direction of ever-more obsessive
accusations against almost everybody that they are not sufficiently anti-Obama (NSAO). I think this is why more & more people report resentment at being bullied in this way & ignoring Carl's posts, or deleting them on sight (or asking to be taken off the
mailing list).
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note that is note will be followed in a few minutes (seconds?) by another "soft on the child-killer Obama" rant & sneer-jeer-smear routine in which Carl has the last word. (Watch this space.) The iron determinism with which this operates is remarkable.
Carl will then believe himself to have refuted & discredited someone else in a completely definitive & dispositive way, even if nobody else does. So it goes . . . .</div>

<div>Are you facing a challenge with a federal agency, Bob?

</div>
<div>Or are you planning a trip to our nation's capital and would like a tour? </div>

Mr. Robert R. Naiman<br>
802 E California Ave<br>
Urbana, IL 61801-4342<br>
<br>
Dear Mr. Naiman,<br>
<br>
Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for a letter written by Congressman Dent and Congressman Price highlighting the need for diplomacy with Iran. I appreciate hearing from constituents in my district and the time you took to share your thoughts.
<br>
<br>
On June 15, 2013, Hassan Rouhani was elected as the new President of Iran. Rouhani was one of eight candidates approved to run for President by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has been in power as Iran's top official for 24 years.
<br>
<br>
I support diplomacy and in order to be successful, the Administration needs all the leverage possible to maintain pressure economically and politically. That being said, few things concern me more on a national and world security front than a nuclear-armed
Iran. I am a co-sponsor of H.R. 850, the Nuclear Iran Prevention Act which would strengthen enforcement of current U.S. sanctions on Iran, expand sanctions targeting Iran's human rights violations, and authorize the President to impose sanctions on any entity
that maintains significant commercial ties to Iran. While I did not sign this particular letter, I did want to share my support for diplomacy. I will keep your thoughts in mind as Congress considers future legislation dealing with the reduction of nuclear
threats and human rights. <br>
<br>
Please let me know if my office can be of assistance to you in the future. If you are facing a challenge with a federal agency or are planning a trip to our nation's capital and would like a tour, please call my office or visit my website. In addition, if you
would like to stay informed on what is happening in Washington, DC and around the 13th District, please sign up to receive my e-newsletter by visiting
<a href="https://rodneydavis.house.gov/contact/newsletter" target="_blank">https://rodneydavis.house.gov/contact/newsletter</a>. It is truly an honor to represent you. <br>
