(#5554) Doing the correct thing should not be the last resort!

      As we again wait on the republican speaker of the House to fulfill his broken promises on aid to our foreign allies, it must be stated that his fear of losing his speakership for doing the correct thing should not be his highest priority. Doing the correct thing should be his priority and come what may should be his expectation. He has already received assurances from democrats that they will protect his speakership through the remaining months if he will only do the correct thing on allowing the aid to reach the House floor for a vote. His concern is his extra job within his normal job of being a congressman.
     What Ukraine and other foreign nations are losing are lives by the many due to his delay in deciding. He is essentially saying his second job is more important than thousands of lives. This isn't that hard to figure out. I feel no sadness for him over his personal dilemma of losing out his position as speaker when the lives of so many are daily ended because of him and his lack of empathy for the lives of others who are only trying to preserve the right of self governing. As the republican speaker in his fear allows for a tyrant like putin to increase his confidence in attacking innocent people, a precedence of cowardice begins to form.
     Such is the opinion of many of us who already know that the foreign aid is many months late now and has been the catalyst for putin to attack even more ferociously the people of Ukraine. The republican speaker should immediately allow for a floor vote of the Senate passed legislation and when handily passed, allow Joe Biden to sign it and get aid to the desperate Ukrainians. They are our allies and we promised to help them defend their democracy. How utterly absurd it is for the republican speaker to squirm and quibble when others are being buried in the ground because of his inaction over a job title that is of now, little more than defined as a lackey to trump.
