Sample text for calls to congressional offices:

Hello.   I am calling to express my profound concern regarding the Iran nuclear deal.  It troubles me greatly to have the United States granting nuclear capability and sanctions relief to a nation at war with us and with all that we stand for.  I am exceptionally concerned about the initial reviews that indicate that the actual deal represents a significant retreat from our earlier positions.  I urge you to review the deal carefully, and to use your important voice in Congress to oppose this deal.  Thank you for your leadership.
