Obama takes Iran deal to UN bypassing Congress

Concerned,

The Iran deal is bad enough on its own, but now President Obama has made things even worse by essentially labeling as worthliess the 60 day review of the deal by the U.S.

Under existing law, Congress has 60 days to review and vote on the deal. But President Obama has bypassed Congress and taken the deal directly to the United Nations to begin the process of lifting sanctions.

The outrage here is bipartisan. From Politico:

"Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) said on Thursday afternoon that they disagreed with the U.S. pushing the agreement through the UN before Congress votes this September to approve or reject it, a troubling development for an administration still trying to win over both men...

...“There was nothing to be lost by waiting until after the review period was over,” Cardin said in an interview. “It could be inconsistent [with how Congress votes] and therefore it would have been better if that had been deferred until after the 60-day period.”

Through this agreement, Iran gets more money to fund terrorism, relief from sanctions, and a clear path to a nuclear weapon -- and that's if they adhere to the deal and don't cheat.

We cannot allow a nation dedicated to the destruction of the U.S. and Israel to obtain the ultimate weapon.

Not Now. Not Ever.

Please, call your Senators today.  We must not let a nuclear Iran happen on our watch.
