The White House is also receiving cover from a coalition of more than a dozen
liberal groups that are launching a lobbying campaign designed to pressure
Democratic lawmakers to back the deal.

The effort is being led by Credo Action and includes progressive heavyweights
like MoveOn, the Campaign for America’s Future and Democracy for America, as
well as media outlets like Daily Kos and The Nation. It includes a petition
drive and phone calls to lawmakers.

The group warns it will “hold accountable” those Democrats
who “help Republicans sabotage the deal and start a war.”
