Unfortunately, what should be a time for tremendous joy has become a time for tremendous concern. Just last week, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei expressed his hope that Israel will not exist in 25 years:
God willing, there will be no Zionist regime in 25 years.
It is shameful that the very next day, Senate Democrats deprived the American people of their vote on President Obama’s Iran deal.
Do Ted Strickland and P.G. Sittenfeld believe that the American people deserve a vote on this most pressing matter of national security in the United States Senate?
Strickland and Sittenfeld already demonstrated their willingness to ignore the will of Ohioans by supporting President Obama’s negotiations with Iran.
Ohioans deserve to know if Strickland and Sittenfeld would be just as willing to silence their voice by supporting a shameful, partisan filibuster.
As Sittenfeld said recently, "Since when did it become acceptable for Senate candidates to avoid dealing with issues because they are controversial and divisive?…Leaders lead — they don’t bob, weave, evade and equivocate.”
With their reckless filibuster, Harry Reid and Senate Democrats are doing just that.
