the average consumer out there, the average constituent that all of us has cares a lot about what happens in the Ukraine, as I do.

I don't believe that every separatist movement claiming some kind of referendum should be allowed to form either an independent country or to be part of a power grab.

The Act has been instrumental in maintaining peace and security across the Taiwan Straits, and in East Asia.

If Burma truly seeks to rejoin the international community then it must abide by the human rights principles of equality and human dignity.

This legislation stands up to that and says there is bad faith by Russia.

President Putin's invasion of Crimea is a blatant violation of international law and also of Russia's commitments to its neighbor.
