<p>Dear Agnes</p>
<p><em>I didn’t think it was possible, but diplomacy with Iran became even more important since we started our petition drive.</em><br /><br />As Congress debates launching a military attack on Syria, it’s clear how intertwined the run-up to war is with our relationship with Iran. Hawks are pushing the administration to bomb Syria so that Iran will know the US is serious when it threatens an attack. <strong>It’s more of the same bluster that undermines diplomacy and continues the cycle of war.</strong><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.e-activist.com/ea-campaign/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=168534&ea.campaigner.email=2hsiAgtGKT3%2FBxox8O73lw==&ea_broadcast_target_id=0">Please stand up for engagement with Iran by signing our petition before Friday’s deadline.</a></strong><br /><br />If we want a peaceful end to the bloodshed in Syria, the US must engage Iran in the diplomatic process. The Iranian government has been sending positive signals, including condemning the use of chemical weapons, which devastated Iran in the Iran-Iraq War. <br /><br />Presidents Obama and Rouhani will both be speaking at the UN General Assembly on September 24th. This is a great time to rebuild our diplomatic relationship.<br /><br /><strong> </strong><a href="http://www.e-activist.com/ea-campaign/broadcast.response.do?ea.url.id=168535&ea.campaigner.email=2hsiAgtGKT3%2FBxox8O73lw==&ea_broadcast_target_id=0"><strong>Tell President Obama that diplomacy with Iran is urgent and critical by taking action now.</strong></a><br /><br />The world is complicated and unpredictable. As we work to prevent a new war in Syria, we must not take our eye off the ball when we have a great window of opportunity for diplomacy with Iran.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Rebecca Griffin<br />Political Director</p>
