WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, AT 5:30 p.m
Thousands of Americans Rally to Demand Congress Vote
Down Iran Nuke Deal
July 22, 2015 – New York City – The “STOP IRAN
RALLY,” the largest, grassroots bipartisan American protest against the deal
granting Iran a fast track to a nuclear bomb, will be held in Times Square on
Wednesday, July 22, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thousands of Americans from all faith
traditions, political interests and communities, including Christians, Muslims,
Jews, registered Democrats and Republicans, LGBT, Iranian-Americans, and others
will demand that Congress vote down the Iran deal.
Under the umbrella of the STOP IRAN RALLY COALITION,
more than 100 organizations spanning the nation’s political, religious and
social spectrum will participate. A roster of preeminent experts from senior
levels of the military, government, academic, and media establishments will
speak at the rally.
“Strip away the administration’s rhetoric and it’s
clear this deal gives the Mullahs – the world’s foremost sponsors of terrorism,
$150 billion in return for effectively nothing: no dismantlement of Iran’s
nuclear program; no anytime or anywhere inspections; no eradication of Iran’s
ballistic missile program; no maintenance of the arms embargo; and no halt to
Iran’s sponsorship of terror,” said Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, STOP IRAN RALLY’s
co-organizer.
Wiesenfeld added, “Washington is prepared to give
Iran virtually all that it needs to get to the bomb. To release $150 billion to
Iran will result in the expansion of worldwide terror. New York Senator Charles
Schumer has the votes as presumptive leader to override this deal if he wants.
To do anything less is cynical and disgraceful, and the public will not be
fooled this time. Americans will not stand for another North Korea. If this deal
is not stopped, New York voters will know whom to blame.”
“The Administration uses scare tactics in falsely
claiming that the alternative to this deal is war,” said Steve Emerson,
Executive Director of The Investigative Project on Terrorism and a speaker at
the STOP IRAN RALLY. “This deal would actually lead to more war, many more
deaths of Americans and our allies and much more international terrorism.”
“This is a bipartisan issue, not a political one,”
said Richard Allen, a local activist leading the STOP IRAN RALLY volunteers.
“Now, Congress must rise to the occasion and expose evisceration of U.S.
national security and pass a resolution of disapproval. Congress must also
override President Obama’s threatened veto, and return America’s Iran policy to
dealing from a position of strength rather than appeasement. We are mobilizing
nationwide to let our lawmakers know we will hold each and every one of them to
account for the consequences of this dangerous deal being foisted on the
American people.”
