March 19 marked the 12th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. As you may know, Win Without War was founded in 2002 by three dozen national organizations - from MoveOn.org to the NAACP to Veterans For Peace - to lead opposition to then-President Bush's disastrous war. On the back of that movement, Barack Obama ran for President by highlighting his opposition to the war. He vowed to change the mindset of Washington so that war wasn't the default answer for every foreign policy challenge. At least with the nuclear standoff with Iran, he is working to keep that vow by pursuing a negotiated settlement despite fierce opposition from many in Congress. While we have been disappointed with many features of the President's national security policy, he has delivered on his promise of diplomacy with Iran. The President helped bring Iran to the negotiating table after almost two decades of silence between the countries. Already, the negotiations have frozen Iran's nuclear program and reports indicate that a final deal will be announced in the coming days or weeks. Congress has done everything in its power to sabotage the talks, including writing a letter to the Iranian government encouraging them to walk away from negotiations. Now, they're introducing new legislation that is designed to be a poison pill for the talks. The scary thing is that they could have enough support to make the bill veto-proof. The margin is paper-thin. Twelve years ago, we came together to march against war. Last year, we went up against powerful pro-war lobby groups and managed to stop US Senator Bob Menendez from passing a disastrous bill that would have derailed talks with Iran. Together, we have created the space for diplomacy to succeed. Now that President Obama is so close to delivering on his promise, we need to give him the support he needs to see these talks through. The alternative is unacceptable: another disastrous war. Today, in remembrance of the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, will you tell Congress not to repeat the same mistake with Iran?

I'm 82. My wife is 70. We want to stop the war treadmill we've been on since Viet Nam. Now is the time.

to stop all the world's media calling Al-Hashed Al Shaabi Militia, and stop accusing them of disrespecting human rights, they are the most loyal fighters to their country, and they respect human rights.

I am personally affected by the actions of these Congressionally ELECTED people whose intention should be to protect my country and my family. If we cannot stand together and find common ground you represent a dangerous and weak government whose acts are treasonous and a clear violation of the Logan Act. Every signer should be prosecuted. Help make this petition viral and demand your government represent YOU.

The U.S. has already spent billions of dollars on the Iraq war based on false information, and this has directly led to the rise of ISIS and extreme instability in the Middle East. As an Iranian-American, I understand the extremely negative impact that sanctions have had on Iranian people's lives. War would make the situation much worse and presents no benefit to the American and Iranian people.

The President of the United States has the sole authority to negotiate agreements and treaties with foreign nations. In UNITED STATES v. CURTISS-WRIGHT EXPORT CORPORATION, 299 U.S. 304 (1936), Justice Sutherland, writing for the Court, observed, "[T]he President alone has the power to speak or listen as a representative of the nation. He makes treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate; but he alone negotiates. Into the field of negotiation the Senate cannot intrude; and Congress itself is powerless to invade it. If the Monica Lewinsky scandal falls under the umbrella of "high crimes and misdemeanors" the actions of these 47 members of Congress certainly do.

I'd like to know how we were misled into two unnecessary wars. Everyone in America was affected by this issue.

Throughout President Obama's presidency the Republican Party has treated him with utter disrespect. They have pushed the limits of decorum on many occasions but this is an act of TREASON and everyone of them needs to be apprehended by Attorney General Eric Holder. If he does not, then our Constitution means nothing and the Republicans will continue to believe that they are above the law. Their letter indicates that they will not follow any agreement the President might make with Iran which in itself is another act that breaks International Law. These Senators are an embarrassment, as well as being traitors and need to be removed from office immediately.

I believe that the activities of the Republicans in the Senate warrants an investigation of treason, but let's start with censure and then file charges of treason against Senator Cotton and other ring leaders.

Established back in 1799, the Logan Act makes it illegal for unauthorized American citizens to negotiate with foreign governments. Violation of the act is a felony, and comes with a punishment of up to three years in prison. By organizing his fellow Senators to sign an open letter to Iran, Senator Cotton may have broken any number of laws, and the Department of Justice needs to investigate.

UPDATE 4/2: President Obama has just announced a framework agreement for a deal. Republicans are already attacking. Democrats need to speak up now! === President Obama may be on the verge of striking a historic deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program - unless some Democrats scuttle it. [1] Some Democrats are considering siding with right-wing Republicans to undermine Obama’s diplomacy, thereby pushing us towards another war in the Middle East. Two pieces of legislation in the Senate, one backed by Sens. Mark Kirk [R-IL] & Robert Menendez [D-NJ], the other by Sens. Bob Corker [R-TN] & Lindsey Graham [R-SC] are poison pills designed to kill any chance for diplomacy. One GOP senator said the “intended consequence” of any new Iran bill is to “end the negotiations.” The Kirk-Menendez bill would impose new sanctions on Iran in violation of the interim agreement. The Corker-Graham bill would throw impossible-to-meet procedural hurdles in the way of successfully completing an agreement. The passage by Congress of either bill would blow up the talks – which is exactly what the Republican diplomacy saboteurs want. Urge your Representative and Senators to oppose these bills by signing our petition.
