Divestiture of current investments in Iran Act

The first paragraph I’m fine with. However, Fox then takes it a step further and cites "more than 200" Members have co-signed. When I checked that with govtrack.us, I only got 3. I double checked it with thomas.gov and got the same 3. Now, don’t get me wrong, I support this bill 100%. The EU is failing to deal with this situation very well. The UN has rendered itself useless in the matter. Nothing seems to be getting the attention of the mullahs who want nuclear weapons. Granted both Thomas and Govtrack rely on information given to them in a timely manner, I’m guessing neither has received updated info on the bill. If they are right and Fox is wrong, there NEEDS to be 200 co-sponsors and this bill NEEDS TO PASS ASAP. What it does is basically force President Bush to get sterner. I know he can do that. I know he probably wants to do that. But, I can see his being a little gun shy after the flap over Iraq. If he’s "forced" to do it, he will.
Contact your Congressman and tell them to support H. R. 1743.
