From the Dold for Congress campaign (10th District)…
As we remember the victims of the 9/11 tragedy, we must reflect on the policy changes needed to protect our country and its citizens.
We must maintain a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, which reflects the extraordinary security ties between our two nations. I traveled to Israel for a week this year to see, first-hand, the critical security challenges that the United States and Israel face together in the Middle East. In the face of threats from Hamas, Hezbollah, and a nuclear Iran, I understand what is at stake in the region, and I am committed to using my voice in continuing the 10th District’s proud tradition of pro-Israel leadership in Congress. I will be a champion for the U.S.-Israel relationship to make sure our security and the security of our allies remains top priority for our leaders.
I support the use of all political and economic measures and tough unilateral sanctions against Iran to eliminate the nuclear threat posed by its leaders. I also support Congressional action to authorize state and local governments to divest from companies investing in Iran’s petroleum and natural gas sector and greatly support missile defense programs to defend the United States, Europe and Israel from Iran’s growing ballistic missile threat.
I support developing stronger policies to eliminate North Korea’s nuclear capability. It is imperative that we work with our allies to focus on counter-proliferation and prominent financial initiatives to stop this threat to international security.
I support President Obama’s position to send more troops to Afghanistan to end the training of terrorists who threaten the United States and our allies. However, President Obama should not have publicly announced the date to begin withdrawing troops. We should create benchmarks for success, not timelines for withdraw.
I am proud to be endorsed by several national leaders on security issues, including U.S. Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, New York City Mayor and 2008 Presidential Candidate Rudy Giuliani and current 10th District Congressman Mark Kirk.
