Support Diplomacy with Iran
We, the undersigned, urge you to support diplomacy with Iran concerning Iran's nuclear program during the six-month negotiation period recently agreed upon by the United States and its P5+1 European partners and Iran. We also strongly urge you to oppose legislation directed at the imposition of additional sanctions on Iran during this period—a move that will likely lead to the failure of these talks.
Why is this important?
The United States has opened the first serious talks with Iran in 34 years. Some members of Congress are attempting to sabotage this diplomatic effort by calling for increased sanctions against Iran. This is an unwise action during this negotiating period. Americans should support peaceful diplomacy whenever feasible.
