Christopher Reed on Homeland Security

Republican challenger

Peace through strength; deal with enemies harshly & swiftly

Ronald Reagan's vision of a shining city on the hill and peace through strength should be our driving force
The US is a good and benevolent nation and not the cause of the world's problems
Today's Democratic Party takes a "blame America first" approach to foreign policy
Our enemies must be dealt with harshly and swiftly and not by "talking" to or "pleading" with them
The War on Terror must be won to ensure liberty and the American way of life for future generations.

Opposes the draft; all-volunteer force is best

I wouldn't be for a draft. We have an all volunteer force and it's the greatest fighting force in the world. I think a draft tends to take the well-to-do and the connected people who have a way to get out of it--we have an all volunteer force right now a Source: Interview with Dean Borg, "Iowa Press" on Iowa Public TV Jun 6, 2008

The war on terror must be won, to ensure our way of life

I believe that the War on Terror must be won to ensure liberty and the American way of life for future generations.

I believe that our enemies must be dealt with harshly and swiftly and not by "talking" to or pleading with them to "just be nice to us."
