Do You See What Is Happening Here? ... UPDATE: Republican elites moved heaven and earth back in May to subvert and nullify the Constitution when they passed the Corker Betrayal (otherwise known as the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015) to make it procedurally impossible for them to stop Barack Obama's Raw Deal with the mullahs of Iran. And now that Senator Ted Cruz and others have put forward a simple plan to actually stop this treacherous deal... a plan that would necessitate GOP Leaders simply changing the rules of the Senate — exactly as Harry Reid had done so many times in the past to ram egregious legislation down the throats of the American people — to overcome a Democrat filibuster... GOP elites are totally unwilling to do a thing. They think they can have their cake and eat it too. They think they can simply pretend to fight this battle to appease the voters — because they believe you are too stupid to catch on to what they are doing — and then lose this battle, thereby placing the lives of Americans and our allies in jeopardy, to appease K-Street Lobbyists and big dollar donors that want this treacherous deal to go through. We can change that attitude but time, quite literally, is short. That's because Barack Obama is working, at this very moment, to release 150 billion dollars in frozen assets to Iran... money that is widely believed will be used to fund unspeakable acts of terrorism. We can't wait. The time to act is now. Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Faxes to each and every Republican Member of the United States Senate.

Your Calls And Faxes Are The Solution. No... your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. The Washington Cartel is more than willing to put untold numbers of American lives in jeopardy because they are under the delusion that pretending to fight Barack Obama while ensuring a loss is going to drive you to the polls in November to pull the Republican lever. To hell with the safety and security of the American people and freedom-loving people around the world... they want votes. It's sick... it's disgusting... it makes them no better than Barack Obama and if you're having problems believing what we just told you, then consider the following: They turned the Constitution on its head and passed the Corker Betrayal back in May to ensure they were powerless to stop this raw deal and, left to their own devices, they will move heaven and earth to prevent a victory now that defeat is so close to being in their grasp. Now, if you're still finding the assertion hard to believe, Breitbart tells us that Washington elites insist that Obama's Iran Deal "would be used as a campaign issue," and there was also a claim that nothing else could be done to "block the deal because of a procedural obstacle Senate Democrats initiated." Nothing else can be done? ... Nice try… but blaming Harry Reid is not going to work because the American people aren't buying what you're selling... Make DC Listen echoed those sentiments and claims that GOP elites "appear to be more interested in following a process that allows them to blame the Democrats for this deal than one that will actually stop it." And there you have it. The Washington Cartel is putting American lives in jeopardy because they're under the delusion that you're stupid and it is time, here and now, to disabuse the members of the Washington Cartel in the United States Senate of that delusion. Mark our words, if they hear from you, they will do the right thing because what really motivates these professional politicians is their desire for your votes and support... and you have the power to let them know that they won't get what they want if they don't do the right thing.

Senator Ted Cruz outlined a bold plan of action in a letter that he addressed to John Boehner and Mitch McConnell back on September 10, 2015. Cruz's letter calls on GOP legislators to take three specific actions: "Majority Leader and Speaker Boehner must determine that because President Obama has not submitted to Congress the widely reported side deals, the President has not yet submitted the Iran agreement as required by Corker-Cardin. Therefore, the 60-day clock for congressional review has not yet begun to run. And, critically, as a result, federal law prohibits the Obama Administration from lifting sanctions." "Leader McConnell should introduce a resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that, if the agreement had been introduced as a treaty, it should not be ratified. This will put everyone on record and will make clear that there is insufficient support in the Senate for approving the agreement as a treaty." And the third provision of the plan is a beauty. "McConnell and Boehner should make clear to the CEOs of banks holding frozen Iranian funds that their misplaced reliance on the President's lawlessness would not necessarily excuse them from the obligation to comply with existing federal sanctions laws. And if they release billions in funds to Khamenei, they risk billions in civil (and possibly even criminal) liability once President Obama leaves office." Conservatives in the House have just forced John Boehner to implement the first part of this plan, and Cruz is introducing companion legislation in the Senate, but it is also essential that the other parts, particularly the third part of the plan, be implemented as well. Cruz explains: "We can assume, based on his past practice, that President Obama will simply ignore the law and declare that he is lifting sanctions under the agreement anyway. On that assumption, we should make clear to the CEOs of banks holding frozen Iranian funds that their misplaced reliance on the President's lawlessness would not necessarily excuse them from the obligation to comply with existing federal sanctions laws. And if they release billions in funds to Khamenei, they risk billions in civil (and possibly even criminal) liability once President Obama leaves office. Having spent years advising major corporations in private practice, I can tell you that their general counsels will likely tell them their legal exposure is real, which could well result in the banks deciding not to release the funds to Iran, the President’s lawless waivers notwithstanding." Senator Cruz is right... the plan is sound... but Cruz and conservatives in Congress need you to speak up to make it happen. As Cruz states: "We don't have to lose... As the elected Republican leaders in both Houses of Congress, you have it in your legal authority to stop the release of over $100 billion to Iran. I ask you to use that authority. I urge you both to declare that the President has failed to submit the agreement to Congress as required by Corker-Cardin and to make clear that any sanctions relief granted under the agreement would therefore be illegal and directly contrary to federal law." Make no mistake, Harry Reid and Barack Obama don't want to be forced to explain to the American people why they oppose what technically constitutes a 3-4 month delay in giving Iran the sanctions relief and the more than 100 billion dollars they desperately want to fund acts of terrorism against the United States and its interests. And if you stand with Senator Ted Cruz and conservatives in Congress, you can force the issue and ensure a win for the American people.

Senator Cruz and conservatives in Congress have done their part and they are now relying upon patriotic Americans to stand with them. Do you stand with Senator Cruz or do you believe that it's better for Republicans to attempt to blame Barack Obama for this fiasco and move on? Your elected officials are waiting for your answer.
