==Message of peace for Assad==
Ellison traveled with House Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] to [[Demasus]] to visit [[Syria]] [[dictator]] [[Bashar al-Assad]] in 2007. The visit occurred despite protests from the [[US State Department]] and Bush [[White House]] for fear of delivering mixed signals to the Assad regime. ''[[US Today]]'' headlined a headlibe stating the Democratic delegation brought "a message of peace for Assad".<ref>http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-04-04-pelosi-syria_N.htm </ref> In 2012, the Democratic administration of [[Barack Obama]], and [[Secretary of State]] [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] announced, "Assad must go", unleashing the Syrian Civil War. One third of all Syrians as of 2016 are homeless, and 6 million Syrian refugees have entered [[Europe]], straining the European social system.
