Dear Robert Naiman,

<http://fcnl.org/r/E/Mjg4MDEw/Mzc1NzU/0/0/bmFpbWFuLnVpdWNAZ21haWwuY29t/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02Mjc3NDA4MSZ0eXBlPVRBIyEjIQ/4758/0>Already,
57 representatives—both Democrats and Republicans—have signed onto a call
asking President Obama to re-energize diplomacy with Iran in the wake of
last month’s presidential elections. Members have until Wednesday, July 17,
to add their names. *Please ask your representative to support this
letter.*<http://fcnl.org/r/E/Mjg4MDEx/Mzc1NzU/0/0/bmFpbWFuLnVpdWNAZ21haWwuY29t/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02Mjc3NDA4MSZ0eXBlPVRBIyEjIQ/4758/0>

This support for diplomacy marks a shift in Congress. For the last decade,
Congress has responded to concerns about Iran’s nuclear program with
attempts to isolate and punish Iran through sanctions and threats of war.
It’s important that members hear support for a new, diplomacy-focused
direction.

With the election of Hassan Rouhani as their next president, the Iranian
people have sent a powerful signal of their interest in renewed
negotiations. With this letter, organized by Democrat David Price (NC) and
Republican Charles Dent (PA), Congress can show U.S. interest for these
discussions. *By encouraging your member to sign this letter, you can help
create more momentum for sustained and comprehensive talks with
Iran.*<http://fcnl.org/r/E/Mjg4MDEy/Mzc1NzU/0/0/bmFpbWFuLnVpdWNAZ21haWwuY29t/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02Mjc3NDA4MSZ0eXBlPVRBIyEjIQ/4758/0>

We’ve heard that, already, representatives from across the political
spectrum are adding their names to this letter. Even if your representative
hasn’t seemed supportive of diplomacy with Iran before, your email today
could help sway his or her opinion. *Please contact your representative
today. *<http://fcnl.org/r/E/Mjg4MDEz/Mzc1NzU/0/0/bmFpbWFuLnVpdWNAZ21haWwuY29t/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02Mjc3NDA4MSZ0eXBlPVRBIyEjIQ/4758/0>

Sincerely,


Diane Randall
Executive Secretary
