Both billionaire donor Tom Steyer and the Democracy Alliance are funders of a liberal think tank in Washington, D.C., that is calling for a "all-hands-on-deck effort" to rally support for any Iran deal the Obama administration may reach.

Power Line reports:

We have written often about Tom Steyer, the coal magnate turned "green" energy crony who has become the largest funder of the Democratic Party, and the Democracy Alliance, an umbrella group of left-wing donors that supports a variety of liberal organizations. Steyer and the Alliance are usually associated with domestic issues, but one foreign policy organization that both support is the Truman National Security Project.

The Truman National Security Project's effort to create a network of supporters of the White House efforts to come to a nuclear agreement with Iran on its nuclear program, even before the details of a final nuclear deal have emerged, was revealed in internal emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Power Line's John Hinderaker writes that the support of Truman from Steyer and the Democracy Alliance donor network says a lot about the effort.

This is highly revealing: Truman was formed for "exactly" this purpose, that is, to generate an astroturf campaign in blind obedience to Obama administration foreign policies, whatever they may turn out to be. Global warming, no way; Iranian bomb, no problem. Truman parrots the Obama administration’s foreign policy priorities, however perverse they may be.
