Here in San Diego the demonstrations, organized by MoveOn.org, were at Representatives' Susan Davis and Scott Peters offices. Peters is still undecided on the nuclear agreement. Davis announced her support for the agreement Wednesday evening.

Moveon.org organizer Kay Stewart said the agreement eliminates Iran’s ability to make nuclear weapons and relieves building pressure in the Middle East.

“If there is no approval, what you’re allowing is an increase of the tensions in the Middle East,” Stewart said.

Without this agreement protesters worry that a military conflict could develop between Iran and the United States.
