[Peace-discuss] Rep. Rodney Davis responds on Dent-Price Iran diplomacy letter

[Carl G. Estabrook]

But, Jenifer, Davis is here backing what has been the consistent US government (and Obama administration) policy on Iran. 

Even those of us who voted for David Gill never thought he differed from the administration on this (or much else).

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.
