A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate in support of general elections in Venezuela.

Whereas the people of Venezuela should be free to elect their political leaders through a fair and democratic process;
Whereas a clear majority of Venezuelans have rallied around the democratic opposition, led by María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia;
Whereas the Maduro-Rodriguez regime does not have international legitimacy or the support of the Venezuelan people; and
Whereas it is in the national interest of the United States to have a democratic and free Venezuela, free of the corrosive influence of China, Iran, and Cuba: Now, therefore, be it
That it is the sense of the Senate that the United States should use all diplomatic tools to support internationally monitored, free and fair elections in Venezuela.
