Slide show of the rally
Excerpt AFSI's Newsletter:
"Today,(Wednesday,
September 3) we read that Obama got the votes; 34 was his magic number
and he reached it. A short while ago we heard that even 'friend of
Israel', Hakeem Jeffries, who was originally leaning against the deal,
will support it and not vote to override."
1.
An end to the farce being perpetrated against the American people with a
pending deal which will endanger America and our allies.
2.
A restoration of the ORIGINAL demands – NO nuclear military capability,
NO centrifuges and authority for any and all unannounced inspections of
all known and any future facilities discovered.
3. Providing an understanding that a failure to STOP IRAN NOW will necessitate a military response later.
The nation opposes the US Surrender Plan to Iran.
Our Senators and Congress members must hear us!
Our Senators and Congress members must hear us!
"Retired Senator Joe Lieberman stated
that even if Obama got the votes to override a Senate veto, the battle
would not be lost and we should certainly stay true to the cause... a lot can happen between now and the vote in Congress, so we should continue opposing the deal and certainly not give up ...
even if Obama got the votes to override a Senate veto, the battle would
not be lost and we should certainly stay true to the cause."
