Irate Democrats Denounce G.O.P. on Iran Letter

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/11/us/politics/republican-moves-imperil-democratic-cooperation-on-iran.html
On Monday 47 Republicans from the Senate sent a letter directly to Iran's leadership, warning them about the nuclear agreements with Obama. Democrats say that they disagree with the choice to send the letter because it makes it harder for them to approach this in a nonpartisan way. They also now have to decide whether to face the Iranians or support Obama, and some say this letter has made them less confident about turning against Obama. Iran said this letter means the United States is not trustworthy. Republicans say that they chose to send this letter because they thought the agreements the U.S. is making are not a good deal. This move seems to be to the extreme detriment of the agreements that the U.S. and Iran plan to make over nuclear weapons.

This relates to what we have learned about because it talks about political parties, the House of Representatives, and Senate. I think that if Iran is not trying to build nuclear weapons these agreements are a great thing, but if they are trying to then they need to be more strict. I think that Republicans should not have sent that letter and instead let things work themselves out through the negotiations.
