John McCain and his comrade in arms Joesph Lieberman have introduced into Congress a bill that would permit the U.S. to spread freedom and democracy. Named the "Advance Democracy Act" it states that :
“The promotion of democracy and freedom is simply inseparable from the long term security of the United States,” said Senator McCain. “When the security of New York or Washington or California depends in part of the degree on freedom in Riyadh or Baghdad or Cairo, then we must promote democracy, the rule of law and social modernization just as we promote the sophistication of our weapons and the modernization of our militaries. The bill we are introducing today will strengthen America’s ability to do just that.”
“From the dawn of the 20th century,” added Senator Lieberman, “presidents from Wilson to Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy knew that America’s vital interests are best secured when we help others find their own voice of freedom. The ADVANCE Democracy Act sends a profound message to the world that the unfinished work enshrined in the Declaration of Independence is within our global grasp if we stand with those who struggle mightily for liberty.”
Several things would be implemented including the following:
• Establishing a new office of Democracy Movements and Transitions at the State Department and separate Regional Democracy Hubs at several embassies abroad;
• Creating a Democracy Promotion Advisory Board to provide outside expertise to the U.S. Government;
• Authorizing $250 million in increased funding for democracy promotion over two years;
• Requiring an annual report on democracy to include action plans to promote democracy in nondemocratic countries; and
• Providing training and incentives for State Department personnel in the promotion of democracy
Look out world, we're on a comeback tour!
