Congress should approve sanctions on Russia

1 min read

Just heard a startling fact that voters need to address with their congressional representatives: A bill to impose Russian sanctions is stalled in U.S. House of Rep. Evidently, the Senate passed sanctions, economic and otherwise, against Russia by a 98 to 2 margin but the House has done nothing.

The Trump administration has lobbied with the House to stall any action by insisting that Congress doesn't have the right to levy sanctions. Fact check: The Congress can wage war but can't do sanctions? Hello! Anyway, please call, email or write Congressman Bill Johnson; yeah, he's still there although awfully quiet. Tell Johnson to do his job and vote to impose sanctions on Russia for their interference in the 2016 elections. Thank you.
