Thank you for taking a stand on this critical issue
@RepNateMoran
and for listening to our community over the past weeks & months.
Your support for H.Res.901 sends a powerful message to the government of Pakistan that Democratic backsliding in Pakistan will not be tolerated.
Threats to free and fair elections anywhere is concerning. In light of recent events in Pakistan and the upcoming election, let’s be clear: promoting stability, democracy, and human rights around the globe is paramount to maintaining our values worldwide.
