QS1. First, can you please tell me if you are currently registered to vote in the district where you live?
QS2. Have you recently moved and have not yet re-registered in your new district?
Q1. How much have you heard about the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT?
Q2. Did you know that Iran, as a member of the NPT, has agreed to not develop a nuclear weapon, or had you not heard this?
Q3A. Based on what you have heard so far, how would you feel if Congress were to approve of this international agreement that limits Iran's capacity to enrich uranium to the low level necessary for nuclear energy...
Q3B. How would you feel if Congress were to not approve of this international agreement? Would this be:
Q4. One of these debates is over whether we should even make any deal with Iran. Here is an argument against the idea of dealing with Iran: The whole idea of making a deal with Iran is misguided. Iran is fundamentally...
Q5. Here is a rebuttal:Regardless of how we feel about Iran, a diplomatic agreement with tight restrictions and tough inspections is the best available approach. We have been tightening sanctions for years now and yet...
Q6. Another debate is about whether the deal will increase or reduce the chances that Iran will end up with a nuclear weapon. Here is an argument saying that it will increase the chances:This deal increases the chance...
Q7. Here is a rebuttal: This deal reduces the chances that Iran will end up with a nuclear weapon. It puts in place a permanent intrusive inspection regime so we will know exactly what the Iranians are doing, and it blocks...
Q8. Another debate is about whether the US should hold out for a better deal with Iran. Here is an argument saying that it should have:Surely, the US could have gotten a better deal. When the deal was reported in Tehran, people...
Q9. Here is a rebuttal:It is always an appealing fantasy that with a little more pressure one could get a better deal. In Tehran, some Iranians are also complaining that Iran could have gotten a better deal. Though many average...
Q10. Now we are going to evaluate a number of critiques about the specifics of the deal. Here is one of those arguments: The deal allows Iran to continue to enrich uranium. It should require that Iran give up all of its capacity for...
Q11. Here is a rebuttal: Getting Iran to commit to limit its enrichment is the only reasonable goal. As a Member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran has agreed not to have nuclear weapons, but it never agreed not to enrich uranium...
Q12. Here is another critique: While the deal does allow us to continuously monitor nuclear sites, it does not provide anytime/anywhere access to other sites such as military installations. We can demand to inspect those sites if we see..
Q13. Here is a rebuttal: It will be very hard for Iran to cheat without being caught. In addition to continuously monitoring nuclear sites, we will be able to monitor activities throughout the country with resources on the ground and by...
Q14. Here is another critique:After 10-15 years most of the special limits on Iran's nuclear activities will go away. Iran will be able to increase its stockpile of enriched uranium, increase its numbers of centrifuges and enrich above...
Q15. Here is a rebuttal: It is true that if after 10 years Iran has complied with the terms of the agreement, it will be able to have the same civilian nuclear programs as other members of the NPT Treaty without nuclear weapons. However...
Q16. Here is another critique: The deal calls for removing the sanctions on Iran, which will make about $100 billion of frozen Iranian funds available to the Iranian government. Iran will be able to use this money to strengthen its...
Q17. Here is a rebuttal: Even though some of the funds that are unfrozen may be used in support of the kinds of activities that make Iran a problem for the US, a recent CIA assessment concluded that most of the money from frozen assets...
Q18. Here is the first one: The US Congress should reject the current deal with Iran and instead insist on getting Iran to give up its enrichment program entirely. We should stick with sanctions and ratchet them up higher, not just on I...
Q19. Here is a critique of this proposal: Because the US has already stopped its trade with Iran, the only way Congress has been able to impose new sanctions is by threatening other countries, some of them allies, with sanctions unless...
Q20. If the US reverses its support for the deal with Iran and threatens to impose sanctions on countries that do business with Iran, how likely do you think it is that most countries will agree not to do business with Iran?
Q21. Here is another alternative proposal: The US Congress should reject the nuclear deal with Iran and do whatever it can to keep sanctions in place. Congress should tell the administration to try to renew negotiations with Iran so as...
Q22. Here is a critique of this proposal: This proposal is simply unrealistic. It is extremely unlikely that the other permanent Members of the UN Security Council, especially China and Russia, after years of negotiations, would simply...
Q23. How likely do you think it is that the other permanent Members of the UN Security Council and Germany would agree to abandon the existing deal with Iran and return to negotiations with Iran, seeking better terms?
Q24. How likely do you think it is that Iran would agree to return to negotiations and would agree to make more concessions?
Q25. Here is another alternative proposal: The US Congress should reject the deal with Iran. Rather, the US should use its military power as a means of assuring that Iran gives up its enrichment program and any possibility of acquiring...
Q26. Here is a critique of this proposal: This is an extremely dangerous idea. The chances that Iran will capitulate in the face of military threats are low. Iran is noted for its determination. When Iraq attacked and moved into Iran with...
Q27. If the US were to threaten to attack Iran's nuclear facilities how likely do you think it is that Iran would agree to give up its enrichment program and allow anytime/anywhere inspections?
Q28. Now, having assessed these alternatives, let's come back to the deal that the US and the other permanent members of the UN Security Council have made with Iran that limits Iran's capacity to enrich uranium to the low level necessary...
Q29. How would you feel if Congress were to not approve this international agreement with Iran?
Q30. So, now, finally, we would like to know what you think would be best. Would you recommend that your Members of Congress approve or not approve the agreement that limits Iran's capacity to enrich uranium to the low...
Q31. Of the following options which do you think would be best:
Q32. While you were going through this process did you have any other thoughts about the nuclear deal with Iran that you would like to share with us now? If so, we would like to hear about...
QD2. What religion do you follow?
QD2A. Would you describe yourself as a 'born-again' or evangelical?
QD1. And finally, Generally speaking, do you think of yourself as a:
QD1A. Do you think of yourself as closer to the:
