Sam Rohrer on War & Peace

No foreign military engagements without declaration of war

Sam feels that our nation has an obligation to uphold the individual liberties guaranteed to us by the United States Constitution and promote them on a world stage. Sam feels that military engagements on foreign soil must be accompanied by a Congressional declaration of war and that to do less or to dispense foreign aid as is the current practice undermines the integrity of the Constitution and grants unjustified power to the Executive branch.

Threats by Iran should not be taken lightly

With regard to the U.S. policy with Iran, Welch said everything needs to be put on the table. Scaringi said he does not want Iran to have nuclear capabilities but said the U.S. has to proceed with caution. Reports indicate, he said, that Iran is not trying to obtain nuclear capabilities.

Rohrer said he didn't think any threats by Iran should be taken lightly. He noted the rising militarization of the Middle East. "Israel should be encouraged to stand tall," he said.
