After Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz pledged her support for President Barack Obama's Iran deal, some people in South Florida decided to protest.
Cyclists took to the streets on Labor Day, but they weren't just getting exercise. They were chanting and protesting against the Iran nuclear deal.
"Look at all the cyclists who showed up today on Labor Day to express their disapproval," said Martin Karp, who's against the deal.
The active protest was organized by constituents of Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz. She's expressed her support for the Iran nuclear deal, even tearing up about her tough decision on CNN. Some of her constituents don't agree with her choice.
"Even though our congresswoman has stated that she supports the deal, that we who are opposed to it will continue to be heard and let it be known that we think this is a bad deal," Karp said.
The deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, has been praised by Vice President Joe Biden.
"This is a good deal first and foremost for the United States. It's a good deal for the world, the region and it's a good deal for Israel and the Gulf cooperation states," Biden said.

Schultz said this decision was far from easy. She released a statement saying in part: "This agreement is not perfect. But I join many in the belief that with complex, multilateral, nuclear non-proliferation negotiations with inherent geopolitical implications for the entire world, there is no such thing as a 'perfect' deal."
Meanwhile, the cyclists said they continue to oppose the congresswoman's choice and won't stop until their voices are heard.
"This is a deal that is a threat to all of us, so we're here today to say that even though votes may be lining up or have lined up to support this deal, that there are people out there that still insist that we don't support it. That it should be opposed," Karp expressed.
Wasserman Schultz's decision could help give President Obama the support he needs when Congress returns this week to take up the proposal.
