Not that it matters what the majority of Americans want. Only the war industry leaders/campaign donors have any influence on a legislative outcome.

to demonize any deal. President Obama, Secretary Kerry and Secretary Moniz have all been great in explaining what the framework of the deal is -- and it is clear that a huge amount of thought went in to every detail they speak of.

Now, we just need Congress to realize that our experts should be listened to - not the Prime Minister of Israel.

leavened by my doubt that "voters" have zero impact on the Bash Iran crowd, putative Democrats included.

... far too often, FAIL TO VOTE! Which makes the policies they support a good deal less important than the policies supported by the vast MINORITY - which is to say the INVESTORS.

We can't call them donors or contributors any more, because donations and contributions are usually made with no strings attached. When the Koch Foundation gives money to a politician, they ABSOLUTELY expect to get something back - i. e., a RETURN on their INVESTMENT!

The blood that is spilled is not worth it! People want this country to succeed and we never will if we are at constant war.

The majority of Americans want peace but CBS,ABC,NBC, certainly FOX, thrive on maintaining the illusion that the
hysterical hawks represent Americans. Whether standing for peace, economic, environmental or social justice, we're always characterized as the "protestors" when in fact we are the majority.

The Republicans don't care what a majority of voters think.
They'll just flip the votes in next year's elections like they always do.
