Brownback Update (December 17, 2007)

Brownback was at it again this time introducing a resolution that would require the American government to keep North Korea on its list of state sponsers of terrorism until they released abducted Japenese nationals. The resolution was a reaction to the discussion around the idea of removing North Korea from the list because of denucluerination.
Although Brownback is out of the race he continues to make noise through his active political ways. These types of current events topics will be essential to the presidential campaign. Nominees will need to be able to give out their own resolutions for any controversies and conversations in the US government right now. It will be interesting to see who supports Brownback on the tough regulations of North Korea, and using the list as leverage.

This past week Brownback commented on the recent report of Iran's nuclear energy situation, which as of right now has been halted but Iran still wishes to have nuclear energy. Brownback wants to encourage the United States' allies and Iranians to ask the Iranian government to stop in their pursuit for nuclear weapons. He believes we need to support the countries pro-denocracy movement rather than their nuclear weapons.

In the beginning of this past week, Senator Brownback was in Des Moines, Iowa where he was encouraging his former supporters to back John McCain in the upcoming election. Brownback believes that McCain's Christian pro-life views match his own.  Later in the week, Brownback stated his support for the Down syndrome bill, which would force doctors to give a more comprehensive medical report regarding fetuses who test positive for Down syndrome. Due to his pro-life views, Brownback believes this bill will reduce the amount of abortions in America.  Brownback then shared his frustration with the progress of the Farm Bill.  He related the problems to majority leader Jack Reed, saying he has been constantly stalling and refusing any attempts at furthering the process of  the Farm Bill.
