[Peace-discuss] one minute and forty seconds for peace with Iran

[Robert Naiman]

According to my cell phone, it took me one minute and forty seconds to call
Representative Davis' office, urging that he oppose Rep. Cantor's bill that
would likely undermine the diplomatic deal with Iran by imposing new
sanctions and imposing unrealistic goals ("zero enrichment") on U.S.
negotiators.

Then it took me twenty seconds to click the report-back link, select
"Rodney Davis" from the drop down menu, and click the submit button.

So, two minutes overall.

How about you? Willing to spend two minutes for peace?

Dear Robert,

* Call your Rep. at 1-855-686-6927 <1-855-686-6927>: "oppose Rep. **Cantor’s
bill that would sabotage diplomacy with Iran."*

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.

* Call your Representative now *

*at 1-855-686-6927 <1-855-686-6927> and say: “I urge you to oppose Rep.
Cantor’s legislation that would undermine diplomacy by imposing new
sanctions and tying the hands of U.S. negotiators from reaching a realistic
deal with Iran.”*

*You can report your call here:*

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.

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 *Steny Hoyer* 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.

Help us prevent the next war now. *When demonstrators go to the street, it
will be too late to stop the war.*

*Call your Representative now *

*at 1-855-686-6927 <1-855-686-6927> and say: “I urge you to oppose Rep.
Cantor’s legislation that would undermine diplomacy by imposing new
sanctions and tying the hands of U.S. negotiators from reaching a realistic
deal with Iran.”*
