America stands as the world's champion of freedom against tyranny. September 11, 2001, demonstrated unequivocally that there are those in this world who hate liberty and our way of life. I am not interested in understanding them or capitulating to them. Did President Franklin Roosevelt ask Americans on December 8, 1941, to understand why the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor or learn how to work with them? No. Americans must be as safe as possible, and our country as strong as possible. "Opening dialogue" or the closing of detention facilities to make our enemies "like us" cannot accomplish this. This behavior is cowardice in the face of our enemies.

My Solution:
As your Congressman I pledge to rebuild our military to pre-1990 levels, which is absolutely necessary in today's dangerous world. Our Constitution clearly defines the RESPONSIBILITY of the Federal Government to provide for the Nation's security. More troops, equipped with the best technology this great Nation can build, supported by empowered intelligence to fight both traditional wars and asymmetrical conflicts.
