Featured Members of Congress
On April 28, 2008 Pete Hoekstra was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) is getting a lot of attention for his remarks over the weekend cautioning against military action in Iran. "Iran is not Iraq. And going in there militarily would be, from my perspective, a huge mistake," Hoekstra said on CNN's Late Edition. I believe that reaching out and engaging with Iran, but doing so with our European allies, recognizing that they do have contacts into Iran, and engaging in a full-court diplomatic press with Iran is a good thing."
