RJC Supports Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act.

Noting how President Obama has weakened his stand, and that of America’s, in the eyes of the Ayatollah, The RJC releases this statement to encourage Senators, especially Majority Leader Harry Reid, to support the bipartisan bill that was passed in the House in July ­–Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act. This bill will ensure that the U.S. will, in fact, back up the President’s words “We have Israel’s back” just in case the Iranians move forward with nuclear weaponry during the next few months and Obama allows this crossing of ‘a red line.’

RJC Welcomes Bipartisan Iran Sanctions Measure, Urges Quick Senate Action in 2014

Washington, D.C. (December 19, 2013) – The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) released a statement today in response to the introduction of the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act, a bipartisan Senate bill aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapons capability.

RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks stated, “We congratulate Senators Kirk and Menendez and their colleagues on their bipartisan achievement and we call on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to bring this bill to the Senate as the first order of business in 2014.”

Brooks continued: “It’s no secret that a large majority of Senators have been ready for months to do what the House did in July: pass a strong, sensible Iran sanctions measure. While hopes were raised by the administration’s triumphalism after the announcement of an interim accord between Iran and the P5 + 1 nations, the threat of a nuclear Iran still grows daily.

“As regrettable as it is that President Obama has threatened to veto this sensible, bipartisan measure, we are hopeful that the Senate, like the House, will support Iran sanctions by a margin sufficient to overcome a presidential veto.”

This statement appears on the RJC web site, here.

The RJC is the national grassroots organization of Jewish Republicans.
