Preserving National Security

Preserving American Freedom > Limiting the Expanse of Government Power > Preserving National Security
Terrorism is a grave threat to peace. We support war against terrorists and nations that support them and eliminating aid to hostile nations.We believe terrorism is the greatest threat to international peace and to our safety. We urge our national leadership to protect our Constitutional rights and swiftly wage successful war on terrorists; to eliminate aid to any nation threatening us or aiding terrorists or hostile nations; to spell out consequences for terrorist activities and to publicly support other nations fighting terrorists; to reasonably use profiling to protect us; to prosecute national security breaches; and to revise laws or executive orders that erode our essential liberties.

Should not label terrorism the "greatest" threat. That is unproven.

Profiling's usefulness is unproven, and permissibility must be determined within existing legal framework. It is a polarizing issue and should not be pushed in the platform.

Protecting Constitutional rights is a generic expectation of all government officials and does not need mentioning here. The war on terrorists is about a lot more than Constitutional rights.

The consequence for terrorist activity is already clear: we will destroy you.

Revision of Patriot Act handled separately.
