NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In what is shaping
up to be a landmark political event, a group of bipartisan
political leaders, brave American veterans and victims of Iranian
terror will be gathering in front of New
York Senator Kirsten
Gillibrand's office to deliver their message to her
personally:
"Gillibrand: Don't Surrender America, Join Senator Chuck Schumer to Oppose this Bad Deal"
At the Stop Iran Rally on September 1, Republican Senator
Lindsey Graham, retired Democratic
Senator Joe Lieberman and former CIA
Director James Woolsey, who served
under Republicans and Democrats, will deliver new foreign policy
information that they believe could influence Senator Gillibrand to
change her position on the deal.
The speaker roster includes veterans of Iranian combat,
survivors of Iranian terror attacks and experts on the foiled
Iranian "Green Revolution," where nascent democratic voices were
silenced by Iranian regime sniper fire, all highlighting the
Islamic Republic of Iran's vicious
human rights abuses that cut to the core of the news that will be
presented to accredited media on Tuesday.
National talk radio hosts David
Webb, Mike Gallagher and
Kevin McCullough, who have been
focusing on how Iran's actions
clash with America's values, will also participate in Tuesday's
event.
"How dare America strike a deal with these monsters without
Tehran moving one finger to atone
for their evil ways," said Richard
Allen, a Stop Iran Rally Coalition activist. "Iran has American journalists and scores of
political dissidents in their prisons, they ply Hezbollah, Hamas
and Yemen with guns and rockets to
kill our allies and they brutally murder their own people when they
don't like the election results. America has forgotten what
happened in 2009, when there was a chance that the Iranian people
could overcome their oppressive leaders, but Washington blew it by not supporting regime
change."
"Where our White House is bathed in the rainbow lights of
Gay Pride, downtown Tehran is dotted with building cranes the
Ayatollahs use to hang homosexuals by the dozen," said activist and
coalition member Jeffrey Wiesenfeld.
"Americans of good conscience cannot enter into a deal with these
surrender terms, shaking hands in agreement with remorseless
dictators. We must get tough with Tehran, or they will get tough with us."
