McCarthy unveils resolution to support Iran's protesters, condemns downing of civilian plane

 By Lauren Meier - The Washington Times - Tuesday, January 14, 2020

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has introduced a resolution supporting the anti-government protesters in Iran as thousands of demonstrators filled the streets in Tehran for a fourth consecutive day.

If approved, the resolution would formally condemn the killing of 1,500 Iranian demonstrators at the hands of government forces since November, the apparently accidental downing of a Ukrainian Airlines plane that killed all 176 people on board, and the government’s initial misleading accounts of what happened. The resolution also backs Iranian protesters demanding greater government accountability.

“This administration has made it clear that we support the Iranian people, we support freedom and democracy, and we will always stand beside those who seek it,” the California Republican said in a statement.

Good luck getting this to a floor vote.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
