Meshugganahs Marching to War
Action Alert from Jewish Voice for Peace
Tell Congress to Let Diplomacy Work
Call your Senator now
Forwarded from my e-mail
Dear Inge,
AIPAC’s #1 legislative goal this year has been to throw a wrench in diplomacy and march the US to war with Iran. Unless each one of us picks up the phone in the next few days, they might actually succeed.
The Obama Administration is in the middle of negotiating a historic deal with Iran, but as soon as next week, the Senate will vote on AIPAC’s centerpiece legislation The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, sponsored by Republican Senator Bob Corker, would give Congress the power to reject any final agreement with Iran.
Inge, will you join me and thousands of others and call your Senator today. Demand that they #LetDiplomacyWork and reject this bill. Keep us off the war-path.

By funneling millions in campaign donations, AIPAC has spent years building a bipartisan consensus for Israeli policies of endless occupation, war and dispossession.
AIPAC seeks to ensure unconditional support for Israeli military dominance in the name of security by inflaming fear of Iran’s nuclear program, while Israel has maintained a large cache of nuclear weapons for decades without admitting it or signing treaties.
Unless we act now, AIPAC and the many Republicans who will do anything to oppose President Obama, could succeed in undermining diplomacy, and possibly send us to war.
Please join me, and call your Senator today and urge him or her to reject the bill in favor of diplomacy.
This isn’t just about Republican efforts to stymie the president— now Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer is recklessly supporting the bill, encouraging other Democrats to sign on to this meshugenah effort.
If we generate enough calls, we know that Members of Congress will put our issues on their weekly agendas and we can make the difference. Thousands of you did it a few weeks ago when close to 60 Members of Congress skipped the speech of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, because they knew they had grassroots support for taking a principled stand.
As Jews and allies, it is critical that we state clearly that we support diplomacy with Iran and reject AIPAC-led efforts to lead us down the path towards war.
Sincerely,
