[Peace and Justice Works]

>From our friends at the American Iranian Friendship Council, news below. 
Note in this CNN story, which we got in a separate email, that it's still 
possible the Senate may vote on the deal but then the President would have 
to veto it:

Senator Wyden announces support for the Iran Agreement, making the total
number of supporters to 41 which is the threshold to block the vote over
the Deal.  Now President does not need to use a Veto that would have weaken
the position of the US on this agreement.

Thank you to all of you who attended the rally in support of the Agreement
on August 15th and then in front of the Senator Wyden on August 26th as
well as those who constantly contacted Oregon Senators Merkley and Wyden
pushing for this right decision.  I am a proud Oregonian to have both my
senators supporting this deal that is a step toward resolving problems with
Diplomacy.

Please follow up these efforts by calling Senators offices and thank them
for their decision to support Iran Agreement.
