We need to be certain that we thank our leaders when they do hear us
and respond in a positive manner. Too often we scream and storm at
them when they behave like idiots, but forget that a spoonful of sugar
goes a long, long way.

Hi,
President Obama just announced that the U.S., Iran, and the
international community have reached a historic agreement to prevent
Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, hopefully putting us on a path
to ending decades of hostility.[1] Unfortunately, war hawks in
Congress are committed to undermining diplomacy. Over the next 60
days, we're going to have to campaign hard to make sure Congress
doesn't squander this opportunity.
But for right now, it's worth celebrating what a historic achievement
this is for diplomacy. And we can be thankful that President Obama is
working to avoid another massively destructive and costly US war in
the Middle East. The president promised "aggressive, principled
diplomacy," with Iran when he campaigned for president in the 2008
primary and general election. [2]
Now that he's shown that diplomacy can work, we need to show that the
American people stand with him and will do everything in their power
to give this agreement a chance to succeed and become a model for
resolving other conflicts. But with opponents of diplomacy about to go
all out to stop this, we have to be out there right away, visibly and
loudly.
We've all seen presidents drag us into war. It's not every day we see
one help the country steer clear of one. Please join us thanking the
president—and tell Congress to defend this historic deal and put us on
a path toward peace.

That's why I signed a petition to The United States House of
Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama,
which says:
"Thank you for investing in a diplomatic solution to Iran's
nuclear program—and for committing to peace, not
war, as a preferred course of action. We call on Congress to stand
with you in this effort."
