Like many Americans, I stand very much opposed to the deal the President Obama recently announced with Iran. This agreement alienates us from Israel, some of our closest allies in the Middle East, and does nothing to prevent this rogue nation from developing nuclear weapons. How can we trust a nation whose leaders violate basic human rights on a daily basis? Please join me in calling on Senators Schumer and Gillibrand to demand the release of imprisoned Pastor Saeed Abedini. While the U.S. Senate deliberates on additional sanctions against Iran, this Pastor deserves to have his country’s support.
