Paul C. McKain for Congress (Florida, District 2)

Federal

A safe and secure border is critical to the safety of the nation.  When a "clear and present danger" poses a threat to the safety and security of the nation, the President and Congress must act accordingly to protect us.

The "War Powers Act" requires revision in order to address situations where a "clear and present danger" exists from rogue nation states and groups without national affiliation, such as Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Florida

Ensuring the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all residents must be the core function of state government.

The Florida National Guard must be adequately staffed and trained to meet any needs that may arise.

In Our District

Local public safety personnel (police, fire, rescue) are most often at the forefront of safety and security issues.  They deserve adequate staffing, training, equipment, and compensation.  When the budget is tight, the public should never be threatened with the loss of public safety personnel as a way of forcing increased taxes on local citizens.
