Ron Paul Votes Against Human Rights For Tibet

Ron Paul Votes Against Tibet Resolution

The U.S. House of Representatives almost managed to pass unanimously a resolution that calls on China to end its crackdown on Tibet.The vote was 413-1. Rep. Ron Paul, was the only congressman to vote against measure that urges the Chinese government to respect human rights in Tibet.Here is congressman Paul’s communications director response to the matter:

“Congressman Paul voted against it for the same reasons he has voted against recent measures on Burma and Turkey. In keeping with his non-interventionist foreign policy positions, he feels it is not the place of the US Congress to be making statements such as these about other countries. The US Congress is charged with looking after the freedom of its own people. This is not to say he has no sympathy for the plight of Tibetans, or that private US citizens shouldn’t express their views on the matter. He feels it is just not the role of Congress or the government to do so.”

Ron Paul is in his own dimension.
