To: Sen. Tina Smith (MN-2)
Senator Al Franken - Thank you for pursuing peace with Iran.
Thank you for investing in a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear program—and for committing to peace, not war, as a preferred course of action. We call on Congress to stand with you in this effort.
Why is this important?
The U.S., Iran, and the international community have reached a historic agreement to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, hopefully putting us on a path to ending decades of hostility. Unfortunately, war hawks in Congress are committed to undermining diplomacy. Over the next 60 days, we're going to have to campaign hard to make sure Congress doesn't squander this opportunity. But for right now, it's worth celebrating what a historic achievement this is for diplomacy. And we can be thankful that Al Franken is working to avoid another massively destructive and costly US war in the Middle East. Now that it is clear that diplomacy can work, we need to show that Minnesotans stand with Senator Franken and will do everything in their power to give this agreement a chance to succeed and become a model for resolving other conflicts. But with opponents of diplomacy about to go all out to stop this, we have to be out there right away, visibly and loudly.
