Roxanne Conlin on Homeland Security

Opposes 30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan

We are at war with Al Quaeda because they attacked us on Sept. 11. Since we began our occupation of Afghanistan, we have made great strides, but Al Quaeda has dispersed into Pakistan and other countries. We need better cooperation and accountability from the Afghani government. We need a narrowly focused mission, with clear, measurable goals for success. We cannot write a blank check. I appreciate Pres. Obama's attempts to focus our mission but I oppose the addition of 30,000 more troops. Source: Campaign website, roxanneforiowa.com, "Issues" Aug 12, 2010

Opposes banning homosexuals in the military.

Conlin opposes the CC survey question on banning homosexuals in the military

The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.

The CC survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Enforcing the 1993 law banning homosexuals in the military"
