Tell your senators to oppose legislation that could block a deal with Iran. A congressional vote to reject the deal before it has a chance to work would be devastating. If Congress rejects a deal, it would flagrantly violate the commitments U.S. negotiators have made. Iran could respond by withdrawing from the agreement and restarting elements of its nuclear program that are now rolled back under the interim deal. The best way to prevent a nuclear armed Iran is to negotiate and let a good deal work. Take Action Posted 2-5-2015 |

The US government has enabled the large-scale violation of
Palestinian human rights through decades of unconditional military,
economic, and diplomatic support. This approach has failed in every
way and has led to deaths, suffering and insecurity primarily for
Palestinians, but also for Israelis and others around the world....

Tell
Congress: Settlements Must Stop. Peace negotiations
between Israelis and Palestinians are at a halt, but human rights
violations associated with the Israeli occupation continue.
Settlements, in particular, and the infrastructure that supports
them, continue to take Palestinian land and obstruct daily life for
Palestinians.

We support President Obama and members of Congress who oppose
the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act. Those who support the act should
pair it with a Nuclear Weapon Free Israel Act,
with the same sanctions to be applied to Israel as to Iran if it
does not comply equally with the same constraints on its nuclear
program. The US must be consistent in its foreign policy and hold
all nations to the same standard.
The best solution is a nuclear weapons free Middle East and a nuclear weapons free world. Click here to sign |

Petition Senator Reid: No to S 1881
Senators Kirk, Schumer, and Menendez have sponsored an AIPAC-written
bill S. 1881 that will impose new sanctions on Iran. The Administration
has said this bill will kill diplomacy with Iran and President Obama has
called it a "march to war" since it will effectively end nuclear talks.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can stop this bill by not allowing it
to come up for a vote. Don't undermine this golden chance for diplomacy
to work; ask Senate Majority Leader Reid to keep the bill off the floor.
