Mr. Speaker, this week, I am circulating a letter to my House colleagues that asks the Senate to drop the 60-vote requirement for consideration of the Iran deal. The American people sent us to Congress to represent their interests and to take actions that benefit our great country. Yet, time and time again, we hear from our constituents that Congress is not listening or is incapable of performing its basic responsibilities as a legislature. Our request to eliminate the filibuster for some votes simply underscores that, in a democracy, the majority should decide. It is time to send a strong signal to this administration that it can no longer disregard the will of the American people and their representatives in Congress. I urge my colleagues to sign this letter that asks for a majority vote on the Iran deal in the Senate. ____________________
