Ask Your Senator to Speak Out Against Rush to War

Sep 18, 2012

Call your Senator TODAY and ask that he or she speak out on the Senate
floor against the rush to war, and in support of a recent report from
national security experts on the tremendous costs of a war with Iran.

A recent report<http://fcnl.org/issues/iran/Weighing_Benefits_and_Costs_of_Mil_Action_Against_Iran.pdf>
signed
by nearly three dozen former U.S. military officials and national security
experts warns that the costs of a military strike on Iran at this time
would be more numerous than any potential benefits, echoing the assessment
of many current U.S. and Israeli
officials<http://fcnl.org/issues/iran/us_israeli_security_officials_warn_against_war_with_iran/index.html>
as
well.

Please call your senators TODAY using FCNL's special toll free number,
1-855-68-NO WAR (1-855-686-6927) and urge them to make a speech on the
floor of the Senate in support of this report's findings on the tremendous
costs of war with Iran.

When you call 1-855-68-NO WAR, you will be connected to the congressional
switchboard, and must ask for your senators by name.

If you don't know your senators' names, click here for FCNL's Congressional
Directory <http://capwiz.com/fconl/dbq/officials>. Put in your zip code to
get your senators' names.

Here are talking points you can use:


   - My name is _______ and I'm calling from ____________.

I'm asking that Senator _______ make a speech on the floor of the Senate in
support of a recent report by the Iran Project, which was signed by nearly
three dozen former U.S. military officials and national security experts
warning that the costs of a military strike on Iran would be far more
numerous than any potential benefits. As many U.S. and Israeli security
officials have pointed out, diplomacy is the best way to prevent a
nuclear-armed Iran and a devastating war.

Thank you.

After you call, please let us know what reaction you received, and you can
add it to the FCNL Diplomacy Not War with Iran Campaign Google
map<http://fcnl.org/issues/iran/iran_action_map/>,
or you can email Kathy Zager at kathy at fcnl.org, and she will add it for you.
