Murray wrong on Iran

I have called Sen. Patty Murray’s office to express my concern with her intent to support the Iran deal. The clone who answered the phone assured me Murray had contacted constituents on the issue. Most polls across America are running 50-60 percent against this shameful deal.

So, does Murray have some secret stash of loyalists or is she just going with the party line as usual? Instead of her being (Sen. Harry) Reid’s little shadow, why not just once break away and actually vote in our best interests?

Iran hates us, they are intent on destroying Israel, and she must realize they will take the billions we’re giving them and buy weapons. There are secret parts of this deal we will never see because they favor Iran.

Can she just “cowboy up” and do what the majority of Americans wants – just once?
