Dubai Ports Request 45 Day Investigation

News:
DP World has asked the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment for a 45-day investigation of its acquisition of P&O's U.S. terminal operations. The request came after a huge uproar in Congress over the sale of security at U.S. ports to a United Arab Emirates-owned company. A spokesperson for the White House said, "he was pleased that Dubai Ports reached a middle ground with Congress." National Security adviser, Stephen Hadley said he and his people will work with Congress as long as it does not block the transaction.

Dubai Port Deal

I'm wondering why no Democratic senators or congressman are SCREAMING OUT against this deal closing on March 3. I just e-mailed my senators begging them to do something now. I implore everyone to do the same. If this deal gets closed this week, the 45 day "review" is a joke, and our ports are in bigger trouble than they already were.
