| Time to thank Sen. Gillibrand. Can you call her right now? Here's what you can say: "Thank you for standing with President Obama by opposing the Menendez-Kirk legislation. Any new sanctions would violate the interim nuclear deal, push Iran away from the negotiating table, and could put our nation on the path to war with Iran." Here's where to call: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand |
Everyone who's been fighting for a diplomatic approach to resolving our nation's long-term stand-off with Iran over its nuclear program just got a big reason to celebrate.
We just got news that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has spoken out in favor of letting diplomacy with Iran take its course.
Sen. Gillibrand said that she wasn't interested in disrupting negotiations with Iran by rushing a vote on the Menendez-Kirk legislation—legislation which amounts to a renewed push for anti-diplomacy sanctions which MoveOn members fought and helped prevent last year.1
This is great news! MoveOn members have been making calls to Sen. Gillibrand asking her to stand with President Obama and let diplomacy with Iran work.
And she listened. Sen. Gillibrand's standing with President Obama. Now it's our time to stand with her. Can you call to thank her right now?
