America Supports START Treaty

Last evening on television it was stated by a conservative that the American public was not interested or supportive of the START treaty.  Since there was no mention of this treaty from the Republicans who ran for office this fall I am not sure how anyone can make a statement about the hopes of the public.

There is however  a poll from CNN that shows the public, when asked, is supportive of the START treaty. With the current refusal of the Republicans in the Senate to support the treaty simply because it is an Obama initiative makes this the worst example yet of what lurks in the hearts of the GOP.

What this shows is the Republicans will play politics with anything, including the best interests of the nation. 

It is time to pass the treaty!

Nearly three out of four Americans say lawmakers should ratify a nuclear treaty with Russia that’s stalled in the Senate, according to a new national poll.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday indicates that 73 percent of the public says the U.S. should vote in favor of a recently signed treaty between President Barack Obama and Russia that would reduce the number of nuclear weapons in each country, with 23 percent saying the accord should not be ratified by the Senate.
