Brownback

Senator Brownback recently found himself in the middle of a major conflict. With Pope Benedict XVI coming to Washing, Brownback announced a resolution "welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the United States and recognizing the unique insights his moral and spiritual reflections bring to the world stage." This resolution was not so eagerly accepted, however, by our own Barbra Boxer of California. Boxer argued that the resolution included "pro-life" slander that was inappropriate on this sort of universal occasion. After a revision of the statements by Brownback, the storm was finally quieted and Pope Benedict was able to make a "safe" visit to Washington D.C.
