Once again, our grassroots efforts have made a difference.
We asked our ACT for
America grassroots volunteers to call Sen. Jeff Flake and
tell him to oppose President Obama's deal with Iran. The Administration
hoped to get Flake to vote yes, giving this terrible deal a fig leaf of
bipartisanship.
After thousands of phone calls, Senator Flake has announced
that he will NOT support the Iran deal! This announcement, coupled with
the announcement of incoming Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer, makes
it easier for those Senators who want to break with President Obama to do
so.
Remember, Sen. Flake is just one vote. We must continue to
make the phones ring!
Please, click here to call, or
click here to write, your Senators and Representatives and tell them
that this Iran deal must not happen!
When each of us does a little, we can accomplish a lot. Keep
it up!
U.S. Senator Jeff
Flake announced his opposition on Saturday to the nuclear deal with Iran
despite White House lobbying to try to convince the Arizona Republican to
break from others in his party and back the accord when U.S. lawmakers
vote on it.
The agreement that
Iran reached with the United States and other world powers on July 14
"does contain benefits in terms of limiting Iran's ability to
produce sufficient fissile material for a nuclear weapon for a period of
time, particularly at its known nuclear facilities," Flake said in a
statement.
"But these
benefits are outweighed by severe limitations the (agreement) places on
Congress and future administrations in responding to Iran's non-nuclear
behavior in the region," Flake added.
