Democrats not supporting our interests

To the editor:

The Democratic Party doesn't want you to know the truth about the Iranian Nuclear Agreement. Here's what the Democrats voted for in blocking a Senate vote on the agreement:

' Releasing an estimated $150 billion to Iran.

' Allowing the Iranians to self inspect their nuclear facilities under secret agreements that our law makers have not seen.

' Continuing terrorism and human rights violations.

' Keeps American hostages in Iran.

' Guarantees Iran nuclear weapons when the agreement expires.

' Allowing Iran to produce more oil.

The question you should ask, 'What did we get?” Nothing!

Hillary Clinton confirmed that she doesn't trust the Iranians to follow the agreement. And who does? Recently, Iranian leaders were quoted as saying, 'Death to America ... There will be no Israel within 25 years ... There will be no other agreements with the U.S.” Clinton said if elected she would try and renegotiate it. Why then support its passage?

The U.S. is being asked to accept Syrian refugees who are fleeing oppression and war in the Middle East. Wars that the Iranians are supporting on both sides. How will you keep those immigrants from including terrorists?

Whose interests are the Democrats supporting? Certainly not the American people. Certainly not Israel which may go to war as a result.

Why did Democrats block voting on the agreement? So President Barack Obama doesn't have to explain why he vetoed a Congressional vote to block the agreement and be seen as supporting Iranian interests over American interests.
