of the House of Representatives signed a letter to President Obama urging him to seize the opportunity for renewed diplomacy with newly elected Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani. [1] <em>We
have never before seen so much support in favor of diplomacy with Iran in Congress.</em><br><br>Thousands of you raised your voices to urge Congress to show this leadership on Iran. <strong>Thank you for making this victory possible.</strong><br><br>The widespread, bipartisan support for this letter proves that we have the first real opportunity in years to engage in productive diplomacy with Iran and stay off the path toward another disastrous war—if we harness this momentum.<br><br><strong>The bad news is that your representative did not sign this letter.</strong> Hawks who want to continue our same failed policy with Iran will be riled up by this success and will push back, so we are going to need congressional allies in this fight. <a
