The world is changing. Freedom and democracy are taking root in the
former Soviet Republics of Ukraine and Georgia. Iraq and Afghanistan
chose their elected leaders at the ballot box for the first time. Lybia
has given up its weapons of mass destruction programs and Palestine
elected a new Prime Minister. President Bush's leadership, belief in
representative government, and faith in America's Armed Forces is
responsible for these changes.
As a member of Congress, I will continue to support the
President's efforts to improve the readiness and capabilities of
America's military. I support companies like Marinette Marine that
develop new technology for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard.
As a member of Congress, I will work to bolster our
defenses and provides our troops with the pay they deserve and tools
they need. I will work to ensure Wisconsin's military bases stay open.
The world is changing, but our commitment to freedom is unwavering.
