Array of people oppose Iran deal

An amazing event occurred in Times Square on July 22. Thousands of people of different faiths and political views gathered to protest the treaty Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated with Iran. Their message was to stop this agreement because it gives Iran a clear path to nuclear weapons. The majority of informed citizens share these protester's fears.

If you, too, believe this is a dangerous treaty, it is time to send two messages to your Congressmen. First, they must reject a deal that will likely result in the death of millions of Israeli and U.S. citizens. Second, they must remove John Kerry from office for negotiating a deal that assures Iran will develop nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them. He also repeatedly misled us throughout the negotiations.

Now that this bargain with the devil has been struck, President Obama is trying to sell its confirmation and tell us our only option is to work with Iran's mad mullahs. He ignores the fact that we have a much better option. America can act unilaterally to put tough, new sanctions in place and do what is necessary to assure Iran never gets weapons of mass destruction.

President Obama and Secretary Kerry can no longer be trusted to protect the nation. Both acted with deceit by making this egregious treaty a fait accompli at the U.N. before Congress had a chance to review it. They also had State Department officials negotiate side deals that allow Iran to arm its surrogates throughout the Middle East. We have less than two months to convince our elected representatives they must stop this treachery before it causes a nuclear war.
