Today, Biden, Kerry, and Wendy Sherman, who has led the Iranian negotiations, are all trying to get the Senate to not pass increased sanctions on Iran while there is hope for diplomacy.

There are many articles that have spoken of how Netanyahu is using Jewish lobbying groups, like AIPAC, to push these increased sanctions. In the past AIPAC has been very successful getting both Democrats and Republicans to follow their wishes. J Street, the liberal lobbying group is supporting President Obama with a petition. http://act.jstreet.org/sign/iran_negotiations/

From Jstreet's facebook page:


Signing that petition or calling your Senators at this time might show that most of use prefer that diplomacy gets a chance.

Here is a thread that speaks of where the Obama administration is - http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=647094
