There is new momentum on Capitol Hill to pursue a shift in US policy towards Iran. Most recently, Senator Feinstein of California added her powerful voice to this debate, calling for direct, unconditional dialogue between the US and Iran. (See video ). The support of the Iranian American community in California for her position was instrumental in her decision.
For other Senators to follow her lead, it is crucial that they hear from the Iranian-American community. In order for Senator Feinstein’s efforts to succeed, she needs likeminded Senators to stand by her, so that the new administration—whether Democratic or Republican—can have viable options for a new, effective US foreign policy on Iran.
At NIAC’s April 8 conference she re-iterated her support for an alternative to sanctions and war. The proposal, recently put forth by former senior American officials and nuclear experts, suggests a multinational fuel enrichment facility inside Iran under extensive international supervision.
Please take a moment to send a letter to your members of the Senate. With your input and involvement, your Senators can play an important role in shaping an effective and constructive policy towards Iran.

by Parthian on Fri May 16, 2008 02:15 AM CDTI actually support divestment from Iran, in addition to no diplomacy at this time until Iranian regime stops executing people. I don't want my money in the hands of blood sucking murderers. Just like I don't want my money invested in blackwater or Halliburton, I don't want diplomacy, or investment in Iran. Plus, there is nothing to talk to the regime about. Iranian regime is not a rational regime. I like to see the U.S government do more to isolate the Iranian regime, and exert more pressure on them. You simply can not talk to a bully, the bully will only talk if it feels it has a weaker hand, and at this time, it is not so.
