Congressman Mike Pence took to the floor today to speak out regarding House Resolution 560, a bipartisan resolution which he co-sponsored with House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman (D-CA):

Congressman Pence's closing remarks:

The resolution passed by a vote of 405-1 and the Associated Press noted

The resolution was initiated by Republicans as a veiled criticism of President Barack Obama, who has been reluctant to criticize Tehran's handling of disputed elections that left hard-liner President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power.

Rep. Mike Pence, who co-sponsored the resolution, said he disagrees with the administration that it must not meddle in Iran's affairs.

"When Ronald Reagan went before the Brandenburg Gate, he did not say Mr. (Mikhail) Gorbachev, that wall is none of our business," said Pence, R-Ind., of President Reagan's famous exhortation to the Soviet leader to "tear down that wall."
