The only Democrats who came out against the Nuclear Iran Deal were New York’s Sen. Chuck Schumer, New Jersey’s Sen. Bob Menendez, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Joe Manchin (D-WV).  Surely they will become co-sponsors. Maybe they just need some nudging. Constituents can inform their senators what position they should take by clicking on the links.

But what about other senators who represent themselves as pro-Israel? Start with those senators whose position on the Nuclear Iran Deal was a surprise to their constituents, senators such as Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Kirsten GIllibrand (D-NY), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), and Pennsylvania’s  Sen. Bob Casey (D).

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) is another senator who will likely be a co-sponsor, as are senators John McCain (R-AZ), and Mark Kirk (R-IL), but those have not yet signed on either.

One easy way to know that pro-Israel people should be urging their legislators to sign on in support of the bill is that the faux-pro-Israel organization, J Street, has sent out an hysterical email and placed ominous op-eds calling on people to attack the proposed legislation. Do you really need more proof that the bill is pro-Israel?
