Dear Friends of Israel and the Jewish People,
"At a time when there are those who would deal with protocol and politics, an agreement with Iran is taking shape in Munich that would risk Israel's existence," Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Twitter on Monday.
(Times of Israel, 2/10/15)
THE TERMS CURRENTLY BEING NEGOTIATED WITH IRAN ALLOW IT TO RETAIN 6,500 CENTRIFUGES RENDERING IT A NUCLEAR THRESHOLD STATE, ABLE TO PRODUCE A NUCLEAR WEAPON WITHIN MONTHS. Furthermore, Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif is not being "pressed hard on the details of Iran's position or its activities elsewhere in the Middle East." (NYT, 2/9/15)
On Jan. 22, 2015
The Jerusalem Post reported that
Iran deployed a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) "whose range far exceeds the distance between Iran and Israel, and between Iran and Europe." It was also shown on Israeli television. Iran now poses an existential threat to the United States and all its allies.
As of 12/12/14, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was not allowed access to Parchin, a military complex south-east of Tehran. IAEA chief Yukiya Amano stated that "another problem is that Iran is not allowing us to implement a more powerful verification tool which is called an 'Additional Protocol.'"
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that "the public was just going to have to trust" that Iran was not in violation of the November 2013 Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) agreement, despite a UN report claiming that the regime had violated international sanctions by acquiring materials for its Arak nuclear facility. (Algemeiner, 12/11/14) TRUST?!
IRAN'S DISTINCTION BY OUR OWN STATE DEPARTMENT AS THE "WORLD'S FOREMOST LEADER OF STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM" IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS!!! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IRAN WILL BE LEFT WITH MATERIAL TO PRODUCE A NUCLEAR WEAPON???
THE RESULTS OF THE CURRENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN WILL AFFECT US, OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, OUR GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND GENERATIONS TO COME LONG AFTER PRESIDENT OBAMA LEAVES OFFICE!
The regional arms race that was predicted as a result of the current negotiations with Iran has begun. Today's New York Times reported that President Vladimir Putin of Russia has announced plans to help Egypt build a nuclear power plant.

Our only protection before the March 24 deadline is the passage and veto-override of Senate Bill 269, the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2015 (without clause 208 which gives the President authority to waive new sanctions if he feels it necessary in order to conclude a comprehensive agreement with Iran), which states:
Iran must not have the means to develop nuclear weapons.
If an agreement is reached, the President must transmit the text of the agreement to Congress
Implementation of any agreement reached will not begin until Congress has 30 days to review it.
If no agreement is reached by July 6, 2015, escalating sanctions will go into effect.
