2016 AL Senate race: on War & Peace

Ron Crumpton: Address the causes of terrorism & national security threats

Crumpton: I would work with the best experts on the issue to craft and support policies that promote national and homeland security, while at the same time respecting liberty, privacy, and American values. In the short term we must fix shortcomings in things like the VISA program, and citizens reporting of possible terrorist threats, along with working to stop sources of funding for terrorist threats. In the long-term we must address the causes of terrorism and national security threats, and work to make the world safer and more free. For too long we have failed in the fight against groups like ISIS, and things like cyber-attacks that pose a national security threat.

Marcus Bowman: We must, must remain vigilant against terrorism

A: One day of terrorism in America could have drastic impacts on our way of life and we must, must remain vigilant. Peace through strength has been good for America and the world. Our involvement in the world can continue to be used in a way to help avoid escalations and protect our safety here at home.
