Senator Graham Launches “No Nukes For Iran” Tour with Senators McCain and Lieberman Today in New York City

Alexandria, VA - TODAY, Senator Lindsey Graham will be joined by special guests, Senator Joe Lieberman and Senator John McCain, to launch his “No Nukes for Iran” Tour at a town hall meeting in New York City. Senator Graham has been at the forefront of the fight to stop the Obama Administration’s bad nuclear deal with Iran and the “No Nukes for Iran” Tour is the latest in those efforts.

The “No Nukes for Iran” Tour will be a nation-wide tour aimed at encouraging members of Congress to vote against the bad deal negotiated by the Obama Administration. It will take Senator Graham to states such as Indiana, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Minnesota, and more.


Always a good idea to have your backup singers...

We need war. Only bombing and invasion and death and destruction will ensure the peace and security we demand!

for upwards of 15 years.

Netanyahu himself admits that Iran could well keep the deal for 10 years- meaning no nukes

Netanyahu has said, in the past, that Iran could get a bomb in months.

Without the treaty, we are NOT back to where we were before the deal, during which time Iran greatly increased their stockpile. We are in a WORSE position as it is likely only the US sanctions will remain - and they are nowhere near what the international sanctions were.

Israeli experts have said that bombing all nuclear facilities Iran has would set them back only 2 to 3 years -- because they KNOW HOW to build what they need.

So, the choice - using Netanyahu's own statements - is "only" 10 years (a blip in history) through the deal or 2 to 3 years - risking setting off a regional war in the process. Not to mention, any country that does this AFTER a deal was on the table and rejected by us, will have no support internationally.

The group that wants to dump toxic waste into your water supply will call itself, "Citizens for a Better Environment."

Now if there was only a way to stop them. Perhaps some kind of mutual compromise in which Iranian trade is welcomed back into the Western fold, and in return UN inspectors verify that Iran has no nuclear bomb building program?

What would we call such an agreement between nations?
