Subject: Tell Congress Monday: Don't Help AIPAC Blow Up Iran Diplomacy<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote">Dear Friend of Peace,<div><br>For seven years, we’ve been urging that the U.S. government resolve its differences with Iran through diplomacy. Now that the Obama Administration is finally making progress in diplomacy with Iran, some people in Congress are trying to blow up the peace train.<br>
<br> <strong>Call your Representative Monday at <a href="tel:1-855-686-6927" value="+18556866927" target="_blank">1-855-686-6927</a> and say: </strong><br><br><strong>“I urge you to oppose Rep. Cantor’s legislation that could undermine diplomacy with Iran by imposing new sanctions and tying the hands of U.S. negotiators from reaching a realistic deal with Iran.”</strong> <br>
<br> </div><div><strong>Then report your call here:</strong><br> <br><strong><a href="http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/cantor-call-in" target="_blank">http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/cantor-call-in</a></strong><br>
<br>The Administration has asked Congress to hold off on new sanctions against Iran while the Administration works with other members of the UN Security Council to negotiate a final agreement to permanently restrict and monitor Iran’s nuclear program.<br>
<br> But House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is planning to ignore the Administration request [1], and – with the assistance of AIPAC, which is going to be on the Hill this week - is planning to bring leadership Democrats like <strong>Steny Hoyer</strong> with him. [2] Cantor plans to introduce a bill that would mandate new sanctions and try to tie the hands of U.S. negotiators by demanding that a final deal include no ability for Iran to enrich uranium at all – Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s demand, a demand that everyone knows cannot be achieved through diplomacy, a demand that would be a mandate for war. <br>
<br>Help us prevent the next war now. <strong>When demonstrators go to the street, it will be too late to stop the war.</strong> <br> <br><strong>Call your Representative Monday at <a href="tel:1-855-686-6927" value="+18556866927" target="_blank">1-855-686-6927</a> and say: </strong><br>
<br><strong>“I urge you to oppose Rep. Cantor’s legislation that could undermine diplomacy with Iran by imposing new sanctions and tying the hands of U.S. negotiators from reaching a realistic deal with Iran.”</strong> <br>
