Kucinich: Port Deal Not Dead; Introduces A Resolution to Obtain Documents And Force Congressional Oversight

Congress Must Act To Prevent Similar Deals In The Future

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), Ranking Member of the House Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations, today, introduced a rarely used Congressional procedure called a Resolution of Inquiry to demand documents from the Administration about the security review of the port deal that would have allowed a United Arab Emirates (UAE) company to take control of six US ports.

A Resolution of Inquiry is a privileged resolution used to obtain documents from the Executive Branch. Under House rules, Kucinich's resolution is referred to the House Financial Services Committee, and action must be taken in committee within 14 legislative days.

...

"The port deal is not dead," stated Kucinich. "Much as they would like to, Congress must not allow this Administration to sweep this under the rug. Congress must fulfill its Constitutional duty and provide aggressive oversight of this ill-advised and misguided deal. Congress must continue to investigate this deal to ensure similar deals, which put the security of our nation at grave risk, can not happen again."

  1. Eyes glazed over
    With liquid passion
    Soft vioces call out
    Gentle murmurs of love
    Fiery tongues explore
    Aching bodies of warmth
    As velvety softness meets
    Up with rigid hardness
    Nimble fingertips delve
    Into dark honey patches
    As clothes get pulled off
    And thrown into a
    Crumpled pile on the floor
    Kiss swollen lips crush
    Down on one another
    As tongues wildly dart into eager mouths
    And caress slowly
    Dancing together
    Passion consumes
    Our hungry bodies
    As we get lost in each other
    And surf on our wave
    Of intoxicating pleasure
    And plunge over the edge
    Only to fall into the oblivion
    Of exploding fireworks
