tuesday 10/24/2017 CALL TO ACTIVISM FOR DEMOCRACY!
dONALD TRUMP is as dangerous as our worst fears.
Long before Donald Trump was mocking “Little Rocket Man” in North Korea, or taunting “fools” in the Republican foreign-policy establishment, he expressed special contempt for one international agreement: the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which blocked Iran from developing a nuclear weapon...
The deal did not change all of Iran’s bad behavior...But the effect on its nuclear program was unquestionable. In return for the removal of sanctions imposed by the United States and other nations, which had crippled its economy, Iran agreed to shut down facilities and to give broad access to inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. Even fierce critics of Tehran, including U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis and Ehud Barak, the former Israeli Prime Minister, have held the agreement to be vital to international security.
When President Trump discovered that not only Mattis but also Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and other national-security officials wanted to preserve the agreement, “he threw a fit,” a source told the Washington Post last week."
(Trump's actions threaten the deal to fall apart, which could lead to Iran starting up it's nuclear program again) "at a time when the United States is already facing a nuclear standoff with North Korea."
"Gutting a deal that Americans conceived, brokered, and secured would undercut decades of U.S. leadership on non-proliferation." It also would put us in danger. (The New Yorker).
We need your help to send a message to Congress!

iran deal script
Hello, my name is [NAME HERE] and I am calling because I am frightened by Donald Trump's decision not to certify the Iran Deal. EVERY indication has been that the deal has worked in stopping Iran's nuclear program. There is absolutely no benefit to our country to revisit the deal and risk having Iran eject our inspectors and restart the program. Donald Trump is hellbent on undoing everything his predecessor has accomplished, even those things that have kept us safe.
All this is occurring at the same time as tensions are rising with North Korea. With our new move toward America First, and long time international friendships damaged, how would we survive a war with North Korea and Iran? It's time Congress wakes up, before it's too late.
