Reply #20: I disagree, voting present or not voting I think were acceptable ways of opposing it.

The language is fucking ridiculous

That the House of Representatives--
(1) expresses its support for all Iranian citizens who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties, and rule of law;
(2) condemns the ongoing violence against demonstrators by the Government of Iran and pro-government militias, as well as the ongoing government suppression of independent electronic communication through interference with the Internet and cellphones; and
(3) affirms the universality of individual rights and the importance of democratic and fair elections.


Voting no, you don't support those things would have been more brave, but I still thanked my representative for not voting.
