If you’d like to express your displeasure to your elected representatives about the low state of US relations with Israel and Saudi Arabia, the proposed (there appears to be some confusion about whether the agreement was actually signed) agreement with Iran that would allow it to maintain its nuclear capabilities in exchange for reduced US sanctions, the deal allowing the Syrian government to continue is massacre, or Egypt’s turn to Russia for a new military alliance, you can do it right from your telephone and your computer. Find your Representative in the House and find your Senators, then email, write, fax or call their offices. Here’s a suggested letter that you are free to use:
Dear <Senator or Congressperson’s name>
Please support the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act.
I am deeply concerned about the way the President and Secretary of State have been damaging US relationships with our allies in the Middle East. They have betrayed Israel and Saudi Arabia and other allies in negotiations with Iran. I urge you to pass new and stronger sanctions against Iran, and I urge you to call this administration to account for turning back the clock on over 50 years of American diplomacy.
Why is our country sacrificing its relationships with its allies so that it can free Iran to at the very least always remain on the edge of nuclear weapons development, and at worst develop a stockpile of nuclear weapons? Have we learned nothing from Pakistan and North Korea?
Why have we turned Egypt, a critical ally for peace in the Middle East, back to an alliance with Russia that last ended in the 1970s?
Why in Syria have we redeemed a war criminal who used poison gas from punishment, while at the same time allowing him to continue his massacre by other means?
You must work with Congress to act before it is too late. Before Iran has the capacity to develop nuclear weapons. Before other countries in the Middle East embark on a nuclear arms race to counter Iran.
Sincerely,
<your name>
