The United States Senate is getting ready to endorse a resolution in favor of freedom of expression and private TV channel Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV), on the initiative of Senator Richard Lugar, a Republican for Indiana, and Democrat pre-candidate Christopher Dodd. The proposal is to be submitted next Thursday to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and the Senate is expected to approve it "unanimously." Additional co-sponsors are expected to join the initiative. This resolution is similar to an instrument backed by the Chilean Senate about one month ago.

The draft resolution 211 follows:

Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez's appalling brutality against freedom of the press is not going unnoticed, not even in Democrat circles. He needs to get the message.

I'm surprised the Democrats would vote to oppose Cindy Sheehan's favorite pen-pal.

Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

I was stunned that Bianca’s Boyfriend was involved in this. He’s always been a total dog on all things Latam. But apparently Hugo wore him down and he couldn’t stand it anymore. Even Dodd has come to his senses.

-—wonder how our Senate will feel about the “Fairness Doctrine” when the Demotraitors try to revive and use it to eliminate Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al-—???
