But throughout the world, in days past. Have assaulted them. In Iraq is a perfect example. At Camp Ashraf,” said Judge Poe

Your right, given by the Almighty God to be in control of your own destiny. The struggle is hard as you know many of your family members and friends have been murdered. Do not let their lives go in vain. Their voices are crying out from their graves throughout the world where they have been murdered because of their quest for freedom,” Congressman Ted Poe added.
