According to this recent poll by Quinnipiac University, the American public opposes the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran by a ratio of over 2-1.
But that hasn’t stopped 34 Senators from announcing they will help uphold President Obama’s expected veto of a Republican bill aimed at killing the deal.
According to reports by the Associated Press, yesterday Obama got the 34 pledges he needed in the Senate to protect a veto after Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland hopped on board.
GOP lawmakers say Iran got too many concessions in the agreement, which aims to curb the country’s nuclear program in exchange for hundreds of billions of dollars in relief from international sanctions.
Israel also has railed against the deal, arguing that its conditions would keep Iran perilously close to developing nuclear weapons while enriching a government that has funded anti-U.S. and anti-Israel militants throughout the Middle East.
Is your senator ignoring the American people and helping push the deal through? Here’s the list of the guilty 34.

Good for them, they should stand with our President. Peace is the first round, any Godly person should not be against that.
Do you really think that giving nuclear capabilities to a fanatical terrorist supporting nation? God help us if many people in this country think as you do
I meant to ask if you thought this was really a road to peace
Another sheep to the slaughter believing that Obama, even after he has continually sabotaged our country, knows what is right for the country. Wake up and see what this sorry excuse for a president has done to this nation. He is FOR terrorists and AGAINST God. The only constructive thing to do is to pray for him that he will change his wicked ways.
Alicia you are as naïve as those idiots standing with obama
