Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Endorse the Iran nuclear deal
Just Foreign Policy
Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.
We urge Senator Elizabeth Warren to publicly endorse the interim diplomatic deal on Iran's nuclear program negotiated by President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry, and other members of the UN Security Council.
Why is this important?
Many Congressional Republicans have sharply attacked the historic agreement with Iran to curtail its nuclear program negotiated by President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry, and other members of the UN Security Council.
Many leading Congressional Democrats, including Senator Feinstein (chair of the Senate intelligence committee), Sen. Levin (chair of the Senate armed services committee), Senator Boxer, Senator Durbin, and Senator Rockefeller have endorsed and defended the deal.
But so far, Senator Elizabeth Warren, a leading progressive voice in the Senate, has not made a public statement about the deal. This is surprising because earlier this year, Senator Warren pushed strongly in the Senate to make sure that U.S. sanctions on Iran would support negotiations with Iran and not undermine them.
Urge Senator Warren to add her voice to Congressional Democrats endorsing and defending President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry’s diplomacy with Iran.
