Approving the Iran Nuclear Deal: A No Brainer!


UPDATE: More actions you can take. Petitions added below contacting Republicans in Congress.

Minutes after the announcement that an Iran Nuclear Deal was reached, 2016 Republican presidential candidates Bush, Trump, Walker, Rubio and Graham were all over the airways bashing the agreement before they even read it!

How presidential is that?

The Republican Congress’ President - Netanyahu -  bashed the deal as well. (See Petition Seeks Treason Charges for 47 U.S. Senators link below.)

Not wanting to be outdone, Republican FOXifiers did the same as all of the above!

Setting aside the typical, false criticisms put forth by the above Obama Bashers, here are the facts about the Deal.

The Islamic Republic of Iran was advancing its nuclear program for decades. By the time President Obama took office, Iran was operating and concealing thousands of centrifuges which can produce materials for a nuclear bomb.

When President Obama took office he resolved to address the issue diplomatically if and only if Iran came to the negotiating table. When that didn’t happen, the U.S. and other international world powers imposed strict economic sanctions which eliminated Iran’s stockpile of nuclear materials; increased inspections of Iran’s nuclear program and – most importantly – brought Iran to the negotiation table!

After months of tough negotiations aimed at diplomacy rather than war, an internationally agreed upon Deal was finally realized.

The Iran Nuclear Deal will cut off all of Iran’s potential pathways to a bomb - highly enriched uranium at Iran’s Natanz Facility; highly enriched uranium at Iran’s Fordow Facility, weapons-grade plutonium, and covert attempts to produce fissile material.

Additionally,

  • International inspectors will monitor Iran’s nuclear program at every single stage
  • The Deal will reduce Iran’s stockpiles of enriched uranium
  • The Deal will reduce the number of Iran’s installed centrifuges by two-thirds
  • The Deal will prevent Iran from producing weapons-grade plutonium
  • The Deal will track Iran’s nuclear activities with robust transparency and inspections

The Deal, now goes before Congress for approval.

Republican Congressional members are, already, biting at the bit to disapprove it, but not one Republican can offer an alternative outside of letting Iran continue its’ decades-long enrichment of uranium and/or going along with Netanyahu’s inclination to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran.

A no brainer!

Tell Republicans in Congress to approve the Deal!
