Congresswoman Grace Meng the First NY Rep to Come Out Against the Iran Deal
City rep slams Obama’s Iran deal (NYP) Rep. Grace Meng of Queens broke with the Obama administration Wednesday, becoming the first New York Democrat to declare her opposition to the “flawed” Iran nuclear deal. The surprise rejection comes a day after Secretary of State John Kerry tried to sell Meng and her House Foreign Affairs Committee on the merits of the deal. “I don’t believe that it’s strong enough and can’t ensure that Iran won’t be able to ultimately have access to a nuclear weapon,” Meng told The Post. While several Jewish New York Democrats have raised concerns — including Reps. Steve Israel and Eliot Engel — they have yet to make the leap to outright rejection. Meng said she “didn’t feel pressure” from pro-Israel lobbyists, but came to a personal conclusion.
de Blasio Has Made History by Supporting the Iran Deal and Becoming the First Mayor to Oppose Israel's Leaders

By supporting the agreement de Blasio not only is the first mayor not to support Israel, he has turned his back on the people of Israel in their time of need. When comparing de Blasio to Koch the changes are breathtaking. In a 2008 op-ed in Real Clear Politics, Koch detailed that he refused to campaign with Carter in 1980 because he felt he was hostile toward Israel . Koch wrote:
“I was popular with the Jewish community and when I would not campaign for him unless he changed his position, he called me to his hotel in New York when attending a fundraiser and said, "You have done me more damage than any man in America ." I felt proud then, and even more today, since we now know what a miserable president he was then and the miserable human being he is now as he prepares to meet with Hamas.” In 1928 Emanuel Celler become the first Jewish Congressman from Brooklyn. The Celler seat state a Jewish seat for 80 years and it was eliminated in the 2012 redistricting. In the 1940s, Celler opposed both the isolationists and the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration by forcefully advocating that the United States relax immigration laws on an emergency basis to rescue those fleeing the Holocaust.

Included are correspondence and Celler's speeches on the subject.

Anthony Weiner @anthonyweiner
Wrong of my former boss to buy into the healthcare v. economy canard. Our economy is held back by broken healthcare. The mistake was outsourcing the job of healthcare reform to max baucus and joe leiberman. and then hiding from the bill. It is wrong to say that something that improves and holds down costs for nearly 1/5 of our economy only benefits the uninsured.

Schumer's Conflict of Interest Comcast Deal
The BrotherHood
Schumer recuses himself from Comcast-Time Warner deal(Capital) Sen. Chuck Schumer will recuse himself from congressional consideration
of Comcast's acquisition of Time Warner Cable, because his brother,
Robert, was a lead attorney on the deal. "As Senator Schumer and his brother had never discussed the matter
before, the piece in American Lawyer was the first Senator Schumer
learned that his brother had worked on the deal," said Max Young, a
spokesman for Schumer, in a statement. "Now that he’s aware of his
brother’s involvement, Senator Schumer will recuse himself from
Congressional consideration of the matter to avoid any appearance of
bias." Schumer had previously praised the deal,
saying Comcast had told him they expected to increase Time Warner's
operation in New York, planned to keep New York 1, and were committed to
increasing jobs in Buffalo. “While we still need to review the details, it seems like the Time
Warner Cable acquisition will be a good deal for New York," Schumer said
in a statement on Feb. 13, shortly after the deal was announced.* REPORT: Chuck Schumer's Brother Tied To Comcast Deal He Supports(Huff Posy) * Reality check: Comcast & FB deals are not entirely in cash. Billion$
