Despite the fact that US President Barack Obama has secured enough support in the Senate to prevent the Republicans from blocking the U.S. nuclear agreement with Iran, the upcoming rally at the U.S. Capitol against the pact is still on – and has gained much momentum, The Washington Times reported on Thursday, September 3rd. Some star power is involved.
The speaker’s roster for the event on Wednesday afternoon now includes Republicans Sen. Ted Cruz, Reps. Jim Bridenstine, Louie Gohmert, Steve King, Mike Pompeo, Ted Yolo; Donald Trump, broadcasters Glenn Beck and Mark Levin, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp, Citizens United founder David Bossie, Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America president Mort Klein, and Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, a major organizing force for what’s being called a “historic” event.
“Congressional Democrats are under enormous pressure from the White House and left-wing pressure groups to fall in line behind President Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal,” says the aforementioned Mr. Klein, whose organization is also organizing the rally, along with the Center for Security Policy.
“We’ve seen Democratic opponents of the deal, like Senators Schumer and Menendez, harshly attacked and threatened for exposing the gaping flaws in this agreement — like the Iranians keeping their centrifuges, enriched uranium stocks, their apparatus of nuclear and ballistic missile research and development,” Mr. Klein continues.
“The rally is an important opportunity to make clear that this nuclear agreement makes war as well as bloodshed and destabilization across the Middle East more likely, not less likely.”
