Strike #2 for Ron Wyden?... Why is he the only Democratic Senator leaning against the Iran deal? [View all]
Ron Wyden already has put himself on notice to be primaried in 2016 with his pushing of passage of the TPA, and ultimately passing of many damaging trade bills like the TPP, TISA, and TTIP "free trade" bills in the coming years and who knows what in 2016-2020 when we might have a Republican president with minorities in congress where we won't be able to filibuster anything too.
NOW he's one of only three Democratic senators leaning against or against the deal to keep us from a war with Iran! WHY? Pete DeFazio's committed to doing the right thing on this bill! Another reason he needs to run in the 2016 primary!

Sen. Ron Wyden
D - Ore.
"I was skeptical that Iran’s leaders would agree to dismantle their nuclear weapons program and I have questions about whether this agreement accomplishes that, particularly in light of Iran’s history on this issue."
...
Rep. Peter DeFazio
D - Ore.
"The agreement is the best option that the global community has to ensure that Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon."
We need SENATOR DeFazio in 2016!!! Do we need to wait for strike three before he's OUT?
My rep, Suzanne Bonamici, is also failing again, not only to commit herself on where she will vote here, but not having any comments on this bill as well. And she already failed the TPA/TPP tests too.
