Dear xxx,

The nuclear deal reached with Iran is very bad. Iran can still enrich
uranium. It can keep centrifuges in a "bunker buster" proof vault.
Critical sanctions will be lifted, and Iran still insists that Israel be
destroyed. As Prime Minister Netanyahu warned, nothing in these terms
prevents Iran from getting the atomic bomb. In fact, these terms ensure
that Iran will get the bomb. This deal is an absolute non-starter, and
Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

As I look at the deal the Obama Administration made with Iran, one key
fact jumps out - absolutely nothing has changed about Iran's objectives
during the course of these negotiations. Iranian leaders still chant
"Death to America, Death to Israel," and they still actively support
terrorism against the U.S., Israel, and our allies. These people aim to
kill as many Americans and Israelis as possible. When someone says they
want to kill you, believe them. For what conceivable reason would they
say that unless they meant it?

Iran is utterly desperate to have sanctions lifted. They want to sell
oil, they want to buy arms, including the technology to build missiles
that can hit Israel and Europe, and they want billions in frozen assets
returned - assets they will turn around and use to fund terrorism around
the world. What has changed, though, is that Iran has learned the
lessons of Libya, Iraq, and North Korea. Libya and Iraq both had
nuclear programs at one time. When they ceased to have those programs,
they were vulnerable to attack. Now Muammar Qaddafi and Saddam Hussein
are dead. North Korea, when faced with the same pressure, made a deal
and then broke it. Now North Korea has nuclear weapons, and the Kim
family remains in power. Iran has learned this lesson. The West has not.

But this deal isn't done yet. Congress still has to vote on it, and
with 67 votes in the Senate, we can stop it. That means there are
concrete, real actions you can take to help stop Iran from getting a
nuclear weapon.

The Iran deal is a bad deal. You must oppose this terrible deal. We are
currently contemplating unfreezing billions of dollars in assets, and
lifting trade sanctions, in exchange for NOTHING. No surprise
inspections at secret facilities, no permanent promise of uranium
enrichment caps, no limits on R&D for intermediate and long range
missiles, and no promise to cease research on a plutonium trigger.

Appeasing a sadistic enemy is pointless. You give an inch, they take a
mile. Appeasement just begets further belligerence. Iran needs to know
that if they don't COMPLETELY end all nuclear weapons research,
sanctions will be so severe that masses will be dying in the streets.
As the madman Saddam Hussein once quite accurately said, "Don't punch a
man in the stomach unless you plan to kill him." Iran knows that
violating even the minimalist terms of the currently proposed "deal"
will invite more sanctions - they will act preemptively to wreak havoc
before we get a chance to retaliate economically. Put simply, that
means yet more Iranian inspired deaths in Europe and the Middle East,
and perhaps here at home.

We have so much more power than Iran, but we lack the will to USE IT.
We can easily break the economic, and thus political back of Iran by
simply shutting them out of most all trade. Riots in the streets from
lack of food and basic services will bring the mullahs down, and have
the IRGC hiding under their beds. We can do this, but we need the
spine. We have to stop being so afraid of Russian friendship with
Iran. Russia is a great power, but at current, even with our atrocious
atrophy of national defense capabilities, we are still more powerful
than the Eastern block, at least at present. We must move quickly, as
the Russia/China axis threatens to exceed our military capabilities
within 5-10 years (much faster if India and Japan joins in, which is
highly likely).

We need a lot more Churchill, and a lot less Chamberlain.

For Peace,
