GA Congressional representatives, past and present: on War & Peace


Jon Ossoff: Avoid reckless, destabilizing missteps like the Iraq War

In Congress, Jon will push for a tough, smart foreign policy that protects our national security while avoiding reckless, destabilizing missteps like the Iraq War.

As an investigative film executive, Jon has managed high-risk operations in conflict zones. Last year, one of his investigative teams documented evidence of war crimes on the front line in Iraq. His teams have also exposed the corrupt theft and black market sale of foreign aid funded by American taxpayers.

Jon Ossoff: Destroy ISIS without deploying regular US ground forces

Jon will oppose unnecessary military intervention overseas and will only support the use of force where US national security is at stake.

Jon will back efforts to destroy ISIS without deploying regular US ground forces. He will work to ensure that law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the military have the resources and authorities necessary to prevent terrorism without sacrificing privacy and human rights. Jon will vigorously oppose the torture of detainees and prisoners of war in US custody.

Drew Ferguson: Distrust ill-conceived nuclear "deal" with Iran

After the ill-conceived nuclear "deal" with Iran was negotiated (if that is the right word) by Secretary of State John Kerry, Iran's economy was and is expected to grow quickly (unlike ours).

For starters, as part of that nuclear "deal," the sanctions against Iran were lifted at the beginning of this year. Also the United States paid Iran the one-and-half-billion (yes, with a "b") dollars we "owed" them. But with the nuclear "deal" in place, we can rest comfortably. Of course, Iran will keep its word and follow the letter of the law in the agreement it signed.Wait-and-see? How long should we wait? Why would be would expect to see anything different? Iran cannot be trusted. Period.

Drew Ferguson: Radical Islam will always be an enemy to the world

In my opinion, all terrorists are cowards. When you target the lives of innocent civilians, you merit no mercy. We have seen time and time again that you cannot make deals with terrorists. It is time that our leaders take action and show resolve in response to the recent bombings in Brussels.

The time to act is NOW. Radical Islam will always be an enemy to the world. We cannot sit by idly and wait until terror strikes again. Our loved ones and neighbors could be the next targets. It is up to us.
