Steven Rathje on Homeland Security

Republican Senate Challenger

Remove handcuffs from those who track down terrorists

Steve believes we must stop politicizing the War on Terror. Terrorists who seek to destroy freedom and democracy around the world must be defeated if we are ever to ensure the safety and security of our nation. We must remove the handcuffs from our fighting men and women and give our Generals the tools and legal means to track down terrorists and eliminate them before they have any chance to mount another 911.
