Salazar's Anti-Socialism Bill Reaches 200+ Cosponsors

August 12, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Last week, Rep. Salazar’s Resolution (H.Res. 548) denouncing the horrors of socialism gained more than 200 cosponsors, making it the third most cosponsored resolution in the 117th U.S. Congress and the most supported piece of legislation from any freshman lawmaker.

This resolution outlines several historical examples of the greatest crimes and tragedies of socialism, and why such a system goes against the founding principles of our great nation. It specifically highlights examples in: USSR, China, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.

“Over one-third of the entire U.S. Congress has made a powerful statement about how dangerous socialist policies really are,” said Rep. Salazar. “We cannot ignore the fact that more than 100 million people have lost their lives from failed experiments in socialism – and we have historical evidence that it fails every time. The United States of America was built on freedom and individual liberty and we must be vigilant in defending these rights.”

LA RESOLUCIÓN SOBRE EL ANTISOCIALISMO DE LA REPRESENTANTE SALAZAR ALCANZA MÁS DE 200 COPATROCINADORES

WASHINGTON, D.C. - La semana pasada, la Resolución de la Representante Salazar (H.Res. 548) que denuncia los horrores del socialismo ha obtenido más de 200 copatrocinadores, lo que la convierte en la tercera resolución más copatrocinada en el 117° Congreso de los EE. UU. y la más apoyada de un congresista de primer año.

Esta resolución describe varios ejemplos históricos de los mayores crímenes y tragedias del socialismo, y por qué tal sistema va en contra de los principios fundacionales de nuestra gran nación. Destaca específicamente ejemplos en: URSS, China, Camboya, Corea del Norte, Cuba y Venezuela.

“Más de un tercio de todo el Congreso de los Estados Unidos ha hecho una declaración poderosa sobre cuán peligrosas son realmente las políticas socialistas,” dijo la Representante Salazar. “No podemos ignorar el hecho de que más de 100 millones de personas han perdido la vida a causa de experimentos fallidos en el socialismo, y tenemos evidencia histórica de que falla cada vez. Los Estados Unidos de América se basaron en la libertad individual y debemos estar atentos en la defensa de estos derechos.”
