Lee Bright on Homeland Security

Maintain a superior nuclear arsenal

Bright: Agree

Our liberty depends on a strong military

Lee believes one of the core functions of our federal government, as required by the Constitution, is providing America's security. After all, our liberty depends on a strong military.

The Obama administration and Congressional liberals have skillfully used the "sequester" to gut critical defense programs and shift that spending to wasteful domestic spending. Lee will work with other conservatives to make sure our military remains second to none. That doesn't mean that the Pentagon should have a free hand to purchase every new technology a defense contractor comes up with. In the U.S. Senate, Lee will be a deficit hawk with every aspect of the Federal budget, encouraging policy-makers to look for efficiencies in defense as in every other government program.
