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

Jack Bergman: Only use troops when it is absolutely necessary

I promise that I will only support the use of troops when it is absolutely necessary. When the threat requires the deployment of our military, I will ensure that our troops are trained and equipped to win decisively and return home to their families.

Marcia Squier: Immediate US cease-fire and weapons embargo on all countries

Marcia Squier: I believe that the U.S. needs an immediate cease-fire and weapons embargo on all countries, especially in the Middle East. Throughout history, our great nation has been a place of refuge for people displaced by war and acts of terror. There is a stark contrast this time, however. We are the ones supplying the Middle East with weapons while bombing them at the same time. We are exacerbating their reason for seeking refugee status in the first place. Therefore I support a 50% military budget cut.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence (Dem.): The stringent process that refugees go through to obtain that special status is very thorough and takes years. Talking points of refugees being terrorist is just more fear tactics.
