HEALTHCARE

Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East, and as a follower of Christ, I believe it is in our national interest to have a strong Israel.

The decline in military is due to weak policies and poor leadership being more focused on instituting, politically correct policies, and not finding the best people.


IMMIGRATION
