OK--Cantwell is on board with Iran deal. Contact her to thank her

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/08/politics/iran-nuclear-deal-richard-blumenthal-ron-wyden-gary-peters-obama-democrats/

Reaching the threshold to filibuster means the President likely won't need to veto the measure, even though opposition to the Iran deal enjoys majority support in the House and Senate.

Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Michigan Sen. Gary Peters and Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden on Tuesday all announced in rapid fire succession they would support the deal, putting Obama at 41 votes of support in the Senate. By late Tuesday evening, Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell announced she would be the 42nd supportive Democrat, an extra buffer.

Will do, eridani, and thanks for posting all of her contact info.

I like to imagine that it might have been our previous urgings which persuaded her to come to the best decision.
