As a member of the U.S. Army I took an oath that I will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic As
a member of the United States Congress you took the same oath; you said the same
words. No one ever told me that when I became a veteran that the oath expired or

soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as civilian deaths around the world. It has
vowed to destroy our nation and the country of Israel.
The treaty clears the way for Iran to develop nuclear weapons and will
release over 1.5 billion dollars in seized assets for it to use to fund terrorism around
the globe. This is a tremendous threat to the security of our country and clearly
