| 2009-10-06 |
| The Honduran government is upholding the rule of law and supporting democracy, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said after returning from a fact-finding trip to the country. DeMint led a delegation including Reps. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.), Peter Roskam (R-Ill.), and Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) The lawmakers met with Honduran President Roberto Micheletti, Supreme Court justices, and candidates in upcoming November 29 elections. "[W]e saw a government working hard to follow the rule of law, uphold its constitution, and to protect democracy for the people of Honduras," DeMint said. "We are very encouraged by what we saw and we hope to be able to work with our administration to support the upcoming elections." DeMint added that he'd have more to say after he briefed his Senate colleagues. |

| #1 DeMint added that he'd have more to say after he briefed his Senate colleagues. "Senator Kerry is sorry to say he will not be able to attend your briefing. He has a prior engagement" "I didn't say when it was to happen" "whenever it happens, he has a prior engagement" |
