Loebsack votes ‘Present’ on House Resolution
Today, former United States Senate Candidate, and Marion, Iowa resident Christopher Reed is calling Dave Loebsack on the carpet for a vote he levied in the United States Congress on Friday of last week.
The measure in question was a non-binding resolution of support for the Iranian citizens demonstrating for their right to fair elections and their right to assemble.
“Mr. Loebsack’s inability to take a stand on this issue is proof-positive he is lacking true leadership” Reed said. “Mr. Loebsack should have taken a stand on this issue and stood by his decision whether he is for the issue or not” Reed continued, “A real leader doesn’t vote “Present” on issues, a real leader votes with principles and conviction”.
Reed, a Navy veteran, went on to describe the state of leadership in Iowa’s second Congressional District as “lacking”. “With today’s economic turmoil and world geo-political strife, we can no longer afford leaders in Washington who sit on the fence on issues.” Reed explained, “By voting “Present”, Mr. Loebsack demonstrated he is more afraid of disappointing President Obama than the residents of Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District”
