The ever-increasing interdependency of the world requires that we maintain a strong voice in the world community. As a member of international organizations like the United Nations, the United States must demand that the organizations meet their original intent and do so in a fiscally responsible manner. I am committed to protecting and upholding the sovereignty of our nation and maintaining the ultimate authority of the United States Constitution over any international organization which our nation joins.
Foreign assistance programs, when administered correctly, can be a useful tool for our nation. Strong international allies with good infrastructures and governments that follow the rule of law help make the world a safer place. The United States has an opportunity through international aid programs to assist other nations in developing a strong and independent economy.
When looking at opportunities to help people around the world, I have been especially impressed by the work of Muhammad Yunus and his work with the Grameeen Foundation and Greg Mortenson’s work in Afghanistan, chronicled in his book Three Cups of Tea. Doctor Yunus has been a leader in microfinance and microcredit efforts to help the poorest of the poor. Mr. Mortenson has shown the world the impact one person can have on the future by building schools.
