[Peace-discuss] J Street: ACT NOW: Tell Sen. Durbin to let our negotiators finish the job.

[Robert Naiman via Peace-discuss]

I made my phone call. I said: I know Senator Durbin is good on this issue.
I urge that he be good publicly, and I urge that he do so now. The other
side is already swarming the Hill.

Meanwhile, Michigan Democratic Senator-elect Gary Peters is playing for the
other team:

On Preventing Iran War, Gary Peters is No Carl Levin

Robert-

While no one knew for sure what the results of the latest round of Iran
nuclear talks would be, one things was for certain: opponents of diplomacy
would reject it.

And that's precisely what happened, with calls in Congress for new
unilateral US sanctions or other action that could scuttle the recently
extended negotiations to ensure that Iran does not acquire a nuclear
weapon.

It's astounding what those pushing diplomacy-killing legislation are
willing to sacrifice just to appear tough: Limits on Iran's nuclear program
that have frozen its progress. Daily inspections of Iran's nuclear
facilities. A united international front. The chance to eliminate one of
the greatest potential threats to US and Israeli security, without putting
America's men and women in uniform further in harm's way.

J Street supporters like you helped beat back irresponsible legislation at
the outset of these talks. We need your help to do it again.

*Call now. Tell Senator Dick Durbin to stand strong and oppose any
legislation that would jeopardize diplomacy with Iran.
<http://act.jstreet.org/call/iran_jeopardy/?t=1&akid=3493.183166.c8FbhP>*

Congress has an appropriate role in this historic diplomatic effort, but it
is not to play politics with national security. America's Senators should
be supporting, not undercutting our diplomats at the negotiating table.

*Call Sen. Durbin now. Let him know that we must let our negotiators finish
the job.
