It’s clear to me that the more our country is admired
internationally, the better it is for our fight against terrorism.
That’s why we should increase funding for programs addressing
poverty, disease and hunger abroad.
It’s clear to me that the more our country is admired internationally, the better it is for our fight against terrorism. That’s why we should increase funding for programs addressing poverty, disease and hunger abroad.

This is also why we should protect our civil liberties at home. Our freedoms are admired all over the world. If we restrict them, as we did when we passed the Patriot Act, we are not only hurting ourselves but tarnishing our image abroad as the leader in the fight for freedom.

That’s why I favor the repeal of the Patriot Act and oppose any more laws that whittle away at our basic civil liberties.
