Zopp right to chide Duckworth on Iran nuke deal silence

Yesterday, Illinois Senate candidate Andrea Zopp publically called on fellow candidate Tammy Duckworth to support the President's 5 + 1 deal to defuse the Iran nuclear crisis. Till Zopp's call I was not aware Duckworth had been ducking comment on this momentous agreement which is our best hope to prevent another senseless, murderous war in the Middle East. Zopp supported the deal last month and privately requested Duckworth to do the same. Duckworth's silence is now deafening, prompting Zopp to go public. Duckworth's public support for the deal would remove any difference between two excellent Democratic candidates and prevent Duckworth from being tied by her silence on the Iran deal to incumbent Mark Kirk, a virulent war party supporter and shameless proponent of Israel's foreign policy over that of the US.

Duckworth needs to show her worth on what may be the single most important issue facing us today. On the Iran nuke deal, silence is not golden.
