Since I'm sure you have carefully examined all relevant data before deciding to vote against the Iran Nuclear Treaty, you must know that even though it has been denounced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and AIPAC, a survey sponsored by the independent LA Jewish Journal shows that a clear majority of American Jews think Congress should vote to approve it.

The treaty has also been strongly endorsed by hundreds of Israeli experts on national security, including Efraim Halevy, former director of Mossad (Israeli intelligence) and former head of the Israeli National Security Council.

In addition, it is supported by over one hundred former American ambassadors representing Republican as well as Democratic presidents.

So I have just one question: What do you know about this deal that has somehow escaped the scrutiny of all those Israeli security experts and American ambassadors -- not to mention a majority of American Jews?
