National Federation of Republican Women Affirms Iranian Resolution Introduced By Congressman Mike Pence

NFRW Applauds House Resolution 549

(ALEXANDRIA, Va.) – Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana today introduced House Resolution 549, which condemns the Iranian government’s handling of its recent elections and the way it is dealing with the public outcry resulting from that election.

The National Federation of Republican Women wholeheartedly agrees with Congressman Pence and encourages all members of Congress to pass this resolution.

"I applaud Congressman Pence for his leadership on this issue. The people of Iran deserve freedom," said Sue Lynch of Wisconsin, 1st Vice President of the National Federation of Republican Women.

"It is imperative that the people of Iran know that Americans support their rights to a democratically elected government," declared Joyce Smith of Indiana, Director NFRW Region 7. “President Obama’s statements regarding the election and the subsequent violence committed by the Iranian government against its people have been glaringly weak, and we applaud the efforts of Congressman Pence to have this resolution passed by Congress," she continued.

The resolution expresses support for Iranian citizens struggling for freedom, condemns the violence perpetrated by the government of Iran, and affirms the universality of individual rights and the importance of democratic and fair elections.
