With Odds ‘Rigged’ Against Them, Skeptical Lawmakers Hope Americans Turn Against Iran Deal
By Josh Siegel, July 15, 2015 Daily Signal
Congressional opponents of the nuclear deal with Iran are using words like “horrible,” “disgrace” and “disturbed” to describe the agreement, signaling the tough fight ahead as lawmakers impart on a 60-day review period.
At a monthly gathering of House conservatives on Capitol Hill, skeptical lawmakers said they hoped the review period—which will overlap with Congress’ August recess—will help them lobby the public against the deal.
“I think you will see an unprecedented amount of person-to-person, member-to-member discussions and efforts … to persuade people who are undecided and encourage them to oppose this deal,” said Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo.
“This will be an opportunity for members to approach members, in a sincerely, objective, non-partisan way to persuade each other to how ill advised this is, and to say, please let’s work together as members of the legislative branch and override this veto.”
