Stutzman Signs Letter Pressing for Further Democratic Reforms in Burma

Press Release

U.S.Congressman Marlin Stutzman joined a bipartisan group of House members signing a letter to President Obama calling on him to pressure leaders of the Burmese government to pursue democratic advancements, economic reforms, and expand human rights. Below is a quote from Congressman Stutzman and a copy of the letter.

"It is time for the Burmese government to end its oppressive policies. While progress has been made, the government needs to establish truly open democratic reforms and recognize the rights of all its country's citizens. In Northeast Indiana, we are happy to call many from Burma neighbors and friends. When President Obama visits Burma later this week, he should use it as an opportunity to promote the values of freedom and to urge for more positive changes from the Burmese government."
