Rep. Ellison: "Stand By Their Words"
July 17, 2007
Last week the House passed the Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act with the largest vote in favor of redeployment to date. As debate rages in the Senate, House Democrats are giving a series of one-minute speeches on Iraq. Rep. Keith Ellison (MN-05) implores Senators to back up their calls for a new direction with votes for a new direction:
| Rep. Ellison: "Senator Domenici, again, correctly stated 'there's nothing to wait for.' We agree, that's why this House voted last week to bring most of our troops home by next April. The Senate has a chance to take that same action this week, I hope that these Senators will stand by their words and join us in changing the course. Thank you." |
