Pat McGeehan on Homeland Security

	Pat McGeehan on Homeland Security

Oppose PATRIOT Act and other 4th amendment infringements

I do not support giving up personal liberty for so-called "more security". I will oppose legislation such as the PATRIOT Act, the recent unconstitutional clauses within the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), CISPA, SOPA, and any other bill that infringes on the 4th and 5th Amendments within the Bill of Rights. Civil liberty and private property must be kept sacred, and I will always fight to make sure it is. Source: 2014 Senate campaign website, McGeehan2014.com, "Issues" , Nov 11, 2013

National defense is federal government's primary function

As a former Air Force Intelligence Officer who served in the Middle East, I have the necessary experience to understand our current involvement across the world and foreign policy. National Defense is the federal government's primary function and must be taken seriously at all measures. Source: 2014 Senate campaign website, McGeehan2014.com, "Issues" , Nov 11, 2013

Only fight under a US Commander; not a UN Commander

I believe when we fight we must do so under a declaration of war from Congress. We must always fight under a US Commander and not a UN Commander. I also oppose tax-payer subsidies to foreign countries. We simply cannot bomb and bribe our way to peace, and we can no longer afford to provide welfare hand-outs around the globe.

As U.S. Senator, I will support legislation that stops sending foreign aid to countries burning our flag.
