Subject: Sign the petition: Stop Senate Dems from triggering war with Iran



      David, a group of Democrats are joining Republicans in trying to undermine the White House's negotiations with Iran by imposing a new set of sanctions—and you have a Democratic senator who is either one of them, or who is still silent on the issue.

      Please take a moment for this urgent action: Sign and send a petition your senators now and tell them to oppose these dangerous and irresponsible sanctions. 

      How would new sanctions hurt negotiations? The White House is warning Congress that the Iranians could see this as a failure to negotiate in good faith, driving them from bargaining table and empowering hardliners in that country. Everyone loses in that scenario.

      So far, 15 Democrats, led by Sen. Bob Menendez, have come forward to push these sanctions. That’s waaay too many Democrats on the wrong side of this issue. At this rate, it could even lead to a veto-proof majority that would override the Obama administration's attempts to secure a peaceful end to Iran's nuclear ambitions.

      We need to make sure that every single Democrat who is still undecided on this issue comes out strongly in favor of diplomacy.

      Email your senator right now: Tell them to oppose Sen. Menendez’s sanctions and to support diplomacy.

      Keep fighting,
