House And Senate Step Up To The Plate On Iran, Since Prez Declined To Do So

(Townhall).Both the House and Senate passed resolutions to condemn the lack of democracy in Iran, after President Obama passed on the opportunity. From Sen. McCain, who sponsored the legislation in the Senate:

It is unfortunate in a way that this resolution is required since the administration does not want to — quote — meddle and has refused, the president has refused to speak out in support of these brave Iranian citizens, most of them young, who are risking their very lives to protest what was clearly an unfair and corrupt election.

This speaks well for congress. Perhaps we can get back to government of the people, by the people and for the people. I think polls should be taken among the citizens of this nation to help our legislators stay better informed on national and international issues and the will of the people. The administration promised an era of transparency, but it hasn't arrived, yet. Perhaps we can push from the ground up?
