WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution Wednesday calling on China to end its crackdown on Tibet and release Tibetans imprisoned for "nonviolent" demonstrations. The vote was 413-1. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who recently dropped out of the presidential race, was the lone congressman voting against it.
BTW - I just noticed the INCORRECT reporting by CNN when I cut and pasted that little blurb. Dropped out? I think not!

The DP is proof that the grassroots support for Ron Paul and his peaceful message of individual liberty is large, real, and not going away!
Not going to the opening ceremonies
Just try to embarrass China on their day. They'll stop buying US treasuries so fast we don't know what'll have hit us.

Dubya will never skip it. China has got us by the &$*#. Embarrass them and watch them call in (not the right terminology, I know) our loans!!
Never
Ron Paul Never Dropped out of Race. Get facts right
431 - 1
if it werent for Ron Paul there would have been a unanimous disregard for the Constitution. That really scares me.

For an informed citizenry, individuals must discard the television set in favor of the acquisition of information via either books and/or the internet. An uneducated populous will remain in ignorance and thus continue to suffer the sharp ax of tyranny.

has been really buggy lately. Dugg

I agree, cyndezu. It takes
I agree, cyndezu. It takes a man of great courage and principle to be able to vote in such a fashion, especially considering the flack you know he must get from people who do not understand his position.
I often think of his vote against awarding the Medal of Honor (?) to Rosa Parks. On its face, people could be surprised -- "Why would he do such a thing?" What they DON'T know, because they don't take the time to investigate these things for themselves -- was that he voted NO simply because it was not authorized in the Constitution for him to spend the taxpayers' money in such a fashion. He even attempted to take up a collection for the medal from his fellow Congressmen. Anyone contribute? Yeah, right ....
At the risk of sounding dumb...
Why would our good Dr. vote against this resolution? It seems to me to be a human rights issue that our government is speaking out against. Shouldn't we voice our opinion as a nation about these types of human rights abuses?
Just wondering.

I do not send my tax money
I do not send my tax money to Washington to pay these people in Congress to work on issues unrelated to the United States. They waste our time, money and resources trying to be big brother to the world. Congress has no authority to be doing such things when there is important U.S. business for them to be attending to.

Taxation without representation
Your federal income tax pays the interest on the national debt and nothing else.
None of our business
Why did other nations votes against joining us in invading Iraq? Because Iraq did nothing to other nations including the United States. We have to stop policing the world and telling other nations to be the way we say they should be. We are NOT the only superpower in the world but we are the only "SuperBully". Our forefathers told us not to intervene in the business of other nations nor to do nation building. Dr Paul's strong Constitutional views are the same as our forefathers....it is none of your business what others do unless it hurts you personally. This goes for every other country including within our own and by not listening to this simple point is why we are in financial distress and hated all over the world.
The one "nay" vote that Dr Paul made about China has more power then all of the bully "yes" votes and it makes me respect him even more. Dr Paul is truly a patriot and I know that I will never see another presidential candidate in my lifetime like him. Such a loss of opportunity for all Americans to finally have the America that our forefathers fought and died for.
Well..
What exactly are the "human rights" law(s), left to the polititans there probably laced with corruption. Anyone really know what they are?
I betcha your rights (some of 'em, ones you never knew that you had prior to these "human right laws", you may be too young) were dissolved partially because of 'em!
Whenever there given to one group there being taken from another!
In short
In short he takes his oath to the Constitution seriously and it doesn't give Congress the right to pass resolutions about the actions of other governments. Is he against the human rights violations of China, yes, but he is the one man who will abide by the oath he took to uphold the Constitution of the United States and while that is his personal opinion he does not have the authority to pass meaningless resolutions in Congress stating that.
it's not very smart telling
it's not very smart telling your banker what to do, or to send orders to other countries. He probably feels the process will resolve itself...
What's next? We go to war with China to make them do what we want them to?
The U.S. has enough problems
The U.S. has enough problems of our own to focus on. If the people of Tibet desire freedom from China then they themselves must earn it.
...
They are DEFINITELY our
They are DEFINITELY our banker, too. They were saying that after Japan, China holds the largest amount of our country's debt.
RP doesn't
believe that we should be involved in other country's issues. He believes that unless we are willing to go to war (legal war) in order to stop it we shouldn't get involved at all. I don't see anyone advocating going to war with China, so these resolutions are just a waste of time and money
Yeah, war with China would
Yeah, war with China would go something like this: Congress declares war, China stops funding the U.S., U.S. has no money to pay for anything, war over.

What human rights? How about
What human rights? How about the innocent people killed
by the mobs? How about the business destroyed by the mobs?
Those guys will be killed on spot if the riot happened here.
Do not buy those propaganda shit!
