House Republicans Fight To Free Jailed Marine After Obama Refuses To It has been almost six months since U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was taken into custody by Mexican officials at the border. Americans have sent the past quarter pushing for his release, however President Barack Obama has been noticeably absent from that discussion. Meanwhile, the American people have called for boycotts of Mexican products and travel until Tahmooressi is released. Others have started demonstrations against the Obama administration. Even Lt. Col. Oliver North has called for action from the administration to get Tahmooressi home as soon as possible. But the argument has fallen on deaf ears. Luckily, a group of House Republicans has decided to take action where Obama refuses to. In an appearance on Fox News, Montel Williams and Representative Matt Salmon announced a House subcommittee hearing looking into Tahmooressis situation, scheduled for October 1. The president has had ample opportunity to pick up the phone and call the president of Mexico, Salmon told reporters. This is about taking care of our soldiers who give us the right to speak out this way, Williams, a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps stated. What do you think? Is it time for the administration to start standing up for our soldiers before things go terribly wrong?
