The US Senate received over 57,000
emails in 24 hours from people
demanding congressional review of
any nuclear deal with Iran,
according to a statement from
Christians United for Israel (CUFI)
on Wednesday.
CUFI organized the grass roots
email campaign in an effort to raise
awareness about the lack of
congressional involvement in the
current negotiations with the
Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Every major arms control
agreement in recent history has
been submitted to Congress for
approval. A deal with Iran should
be no different,” said CUFI executive director David Brog.
The CUFI email campaign specifically voiced support for the Iran Nuclear Agreement
Review Act of 2015 (S.615). This legislation, among other things, directs President
Obama to promptly transmit the details of any Iranian nuclear deal to Congress. It
further directs the Secretary of State to assess the feasibility of verifying Iran’s
compliance with any such deal. The bill also limits the President’s ability to lift
sanctions againstIran.
The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act was sponsored by Senator Bob Corker (RTN). A number of potential
2016 presidential candidates have joined Corker as cosponsors, including Senator Lindsay Graham (RSC),
Senator Rand Paul (RKY), and Senator Marco Rubio (RFL).
CUFI says that it has 2 million members, and is the largest proIsrael organization in the United States
