Subject: Warmonger Schumer Wrong Choice for Democratic Dinner

Dear Miriam,
Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party - the Minnesota arm of the
national Democratic Party - has recently announced its intention to invite
New York Senator Chuck Schumer to be the keynote speaker at the 10th Annual
DFL Founders Day Dinner. [1]
Urge Minnesota Democratic leaders to reconsider this invitation to Schumer
by signing our petition at MoveOn:

This announcement by the Minnesota DFL could not come at a worse time for
supporters of the nuclear agreement with Iran. Schumer is the most prominent
Congressional Democrat opposing the deal. [2] Only one other Senate Democrat
has come out against the deal - indicted New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez.
If just four Senate Democrats follow Schumer's example, Senate Republicans
will likely have the votes they need to send a rejection of the Iran accord
to President Obama, forcing the President to use a politically embarrassing
veto and undermining the credibility of any future President to negotiate
war-preventing diplomatic accords in the future. By inviting Schumer to
keynote their dinner, Minnesota Democrats are signaling that Schumer's
actions to undercut diplomacy are ok with them, that undermining the
Democratic President when he negotiates an international accord to prevent
war is ok with them. This isn't just bad for the Iran deal; it's bad for
future efforts to prevent war by using diplomacy.
Urge Minnesota's Democratic leaders in Congress to press the DFL leadership
to re-consider its invitation to Schumer by signing and sharing our
petition.
