Looks like our phone calls and emails worked:
WASHINGTON – Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey will support the international nuclear agreement with Iran, he said Tuesday, becoming the 32d Senate Democrat to announce plans to do so and moving the deal to within two votes of being able to withstand Congressional objections.
“This agreement will substantially constrain the Iranian nuclear program for its duration, and compared with all realistic alternatives, it is the best option available to us at this time,” Casey wrote in a 17-page, more than 8,000 word analysis he shared with The Inquirer. He called it “one of the most difficult decisions of my public career.”
In an interview in his Washington office he added, “I believe that this is better for our security and better for Israel’s security, without a doubt, short term and long term.”
Casey’s decision adds to President Obama’s momentum in rallying Democratic support.
I really don’t understand people who prefer conflict over negotiation.
