8 MORE CONGRESS SUPPORT BRO.HOOD BILL

8 MORE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SUPPORT BROTHERHOOD BILL
BY RYAN MAURO Tue, May 24, 2016
A bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood, along with linkage to CAIR, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization continues to gain support.
Eight more members of Congress have signed onto the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, two Senators and six representatives. Twenty members have come onboard since the Clarion Project letter campaign was launched, raising the number of supporters to 76.

You can tell your representatives to support the legislation in less than one minute by using our online form.

Over 75 members of Congress are cosponsoring the bill or have voted in its favor. It now has bipartisan support and has passed the House Judiciary Committee. Four organizations representing persecuted Christians are also pushing for the bill. A prominent Kurdish activist is also rooting the effort on.

The two new Senators supporting the bill are Jerry Moran (R-KS) and James Inhofe (R-OK). The six new cosponsors from the House of Representatives are Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), Austin Scott (R-GA), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Dennis A. Ross (R-FL).

The next steps are for the bill to come to a vote in the House of Representatives and to be approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where it is currently stalled.

Regardless of whether it passes or not, the legislation is an unprecedented opportunity to educate congressmen about the Muslim Brotherhood's involvement in terrorism. The legislation also outlines how the Brotherhood is linked to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT).

See below for a list of members of Congress who have endorsed the legislation, those who have declared opposition to it and those on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who have yet to take a position.

If passed, the bill would state that Congress believes that the Muslim Brotherhood meets the criteria of a Foreign Terrorist Organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189).

It then gives the Secretary of State a period of 60 days to provide a detailed report explaining whether the Brotherhood meets the standard for Foreign Terrorist Organization designation and why. The legislation contains a mountain of evidence in support of designation.
