Action Alert
Letter writing campaign to stop Honeywell International from doing business in Iran

Honeywell's British subsidiary, UOP, is doing business with Iran enabling them to triple their daily gasoline production. Iran's oil industry is run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which provides significant funding for Iran's illicit nuclear and missile programs. We do not want a NJ company to aid Iran's ability to fund nuclear weapons! As of July 1, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (the "Iran SAD Act"). The new law is focused on Iran's gasoline suppliers and those businesses that assist Iran in developing petroleum refineries such as Honeywell. Under the new SAD Act we believe Honeywell is illegal. Please join the No Nukes for Iran campaign against Honeywell International from doing business in Iran. Take action! Send a letter to the Honeywell CEO by clicking on the action button below. Together, we can continue to put significant pressure on Honeywell. SIGN THE PETITION NOW!
