WALBERG JOINS NEW ANTI-TERRORISM CAUCUS

U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) today announced he has joined the new Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus. The caucus is a bipartisan effort to educate Members of Congress and the general public about the threat America faces from extremism and jihadist terrorists.

"I am delighted to be a part of this new caucus that will explore why terrorist attacks occur and how we can best protect the American people from terrorism in the future."

BACKGROUND:
There are currently more than 70 members of this caucus, which is co-chaired by Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC), Bud Cramer (D-AL), Kay Granger (R-TX) and Ben Chandler (D-KY). It meets twice a month for meetings in which members receive briefings from terrorism experts. A few of the subjects that will be discussed in the next several months include how terrorists use the internet, terrorist financing methods and ideological differences between moderate Muslims and extremists.
