 * Issue 1:** Foreign Policy

I think we should be actively involved with the United Nations and other organizations in the world to keep international peace and security with other countries. The rising threats of fundamentalist Muslim terrorist groups such as the Taliban, al-Qaeda and Hamas, demand that we maintain good relations with nations in order to create pressure against these organizations, and to encourage the preservation of free society as a top objective.


 * Issue 2:** National Defense

I strongly support national defense because we must protect the citizens and interests of the United States from terrorist groups, whether on Middle Eastern soil or in our own country. We must do everything absolutely necessary to destroy these terrorists, especially within our own borders. Wiretapping, search and seizure, fingerprint and body scans at airports and border checkpoints are all practical measures to take when presented with a threat such as this. Although not politically correct, they may prove critical to the survival of this country.


 * Issue 3:** Social Programs

I am a supporter of social programs so we can move forward with domestic programs like transportation and science. I support the goals of these areas, such as road-building and highway-building, and advancement of automobiles to make them more efficient and eco-friendly. Science programs I sponsor are geared toward medical and astronomical purposes so we can enhance our knowledge on diseases and outer space.

United Airlines Flight 93, one of the airplanes highjacked on September 11, 2001, crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Congressional District represented by Bill Shuster. It was the only highjacked plane which failed to reach its intended target in Washington, D.C., due to the courageous efforts of the passengers who mounted an assault on the highjackers in order to gain control of the aircraft. More than 40 people died in the crash. There were no survivors.
