- Congress, Sanctions
On Wednesday, House leadership ignored the Iranian peoples’ call for change and moderation and voted for new punishing sanctions on the Iranian people.
But twenty lawmakers showed courage and leadership by voting no, inviting attacks from the pro-war lobby. Other representatives who share their views were unwilling to take that risk. Those twenty representatives need to know that those who oppose war and unending sanctions appreciate their stand, and that we have their back.
Will you sign the petition thanking them for standing up for peace and diplomacy with Iran?
