Defense and National Security
"The House Republican plan for national and border security focuses on 'protecting our citizens, bringing certainty to an uncertain world, supporting those who volunteer in the service of their country and defend our way of life, using every tool to protect Americans from threats.'"
Congressman Gregg Harper believes that one of the federal government’s core duties defined in the Constitution is to provide for the common defense. Peace through strength is obtained through a robust national defense policy. It is imperative that Congress provides the equipment and resources necessary to ensure the men and women in harm’s way have the tools to succeed. We must also keep terrorists out of America by preventing the government from importing Guantanamo Bay detainees and fully funding missile defense.
