The Iran Counter-Proliferation Act

Congress must not leave town next week without passing two important pieces of legislation designed to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The reports we are receiving indicate that Congress may still consider these critical pieces of legislation prior to adjourning next week.


Just copy and paste this and tell them this is what you want....and forward to everyone you know.

1. The Iran Counter-Proliferation Act (S. 970 in the Senate and H.R. 1400 in the House of Representatives) is strong sanctions legislation which will make Iran pay a serious economic price for its uranium enrichment program. This bill would significantly increase the economic pressure on Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons program by closing loopholes in the existing sanctions law and isolating Iran from international financial institutions.


2. The Iran Sanctions Enabling Act (S. 1430 in the Senate and H.R. 2347 in the House of Representatives) is legislation designed to legalize and encourage broad-based divestment from Iran. The bill authorizes state and local governments to divest from companies investing in Iran's petroleum and natural gas sector and protects fund managers who divest from such companies from potential lawsuits. Congress must send a message at once that it is not only fully legal, but enthusiastically encouraged, to divest from companies doing business with Iran.
