Deborah Ross on War & Peace

 

 


Committed to defeating ISIS, with our international partners

America faces the threat of terrorism at home and abroad. Deborah is committed to defeating ISIS. Deborah is committed to defeating global terrorism. Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our families and as Senator, she will make this a top priority.

She believes that we must act together with our allies in the global community, balance Americans' right to privacy with our national security needs, and show strength and compassion to displaced families whose lives have been torn apart by brutal regimes and the horrors of war. We can protect Americans from global threats while upholding the values our country was built on.

In the U.S. Senate, Deborah will work to keep America's families safe from threats at home and abroad by working with our international partners to address national security threats. [Source: www.deborahross.com/issues ]

Repeal 2002 Military Force Authorization against Iraq.

Ross voted YEA AUMF Repeal Act

Politico.com in OPPOSITION, 3/25/21: Republicans who opposed repealing the 2002 authorization said that it should be replaced because Iraq is still home to terror groups that threaten the United States. Rep. Michael McCaul called for consultations with first in order to craft a replacement. "Real AUMF reform requires Congress and the administration working together on actual text to replace the aging 2001 and 2002 AUMFs to provide authorities needed to keep the American people, and, most importantly, our deployed troops, safe from terrorists," McCaul said.

Heritage Foundation in SUPPORT (1/6/20): There has been an open and vibrant debate about whether the 2001 AUMF covers ISIS, a terrorist organization that did not even exist when the 2001 statute was passed and has disavowed and formally broken away from al-Qaeda, the group that is covered by the 2001 AUMF. Yet both the Obama and Trump Administrations claim that the 2001 AUMF covers ISIS and associated forces. Congress has shied away from the much-needed debate about whether the 2002 Iraq AUMF is no longer necessary.

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 268-161-2 on H.R.256 on 6/17/2021 (rollcall 172; no vote on S.J.R.10 nor H.R.3261 in 2021)
