User Clip: Tulsi Gabbard : STOP THIS MADNESS

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE FELT DIRECTLY THE COST OF OUR NATION'S INTERVENTIONIST WARS, THE COSTS BORNE BY OUR NATION'S SONS AND DAUGHTERS WHO SERVED, AND BY COMMUNITIES AND PEOPLE IN EVERY PART OF THIS COUNTRY. WE HAVE SPENT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON REGIME CHANGE WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHILE COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE IN HAWAII FACE A SEVERE LACK OF AFFORD AND HOUSING, AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, THE NEED TO INVEST IN EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE, AND SO MUCH MORE.

OUR LIMITED RESOURCES SHOULD GO TOWARD REBUILDING OUR COMMUNITIES HERE AT HOME NOT FUELING MORE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE REGIME CHANGE WARS ABROAD. I HAVE INTRODUCED THE STOP ARMING TERRORIST ACT, LEGISLATION THAT WOULD STOP OUR GOVERNMENT FROM USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY SUPPORT GROUPS WHO ARE ALLIED WITH IN SUPPORTING TERRORIST GROUPS LIKE ISIS AND AL QAEDA IN THEIR WAR TO OVERTHROW THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT. THE FACT THAT OUR RESOURCES ARE BEING USED TO STRENGTHEN THE VERY TERRORIST GROUPS WE SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON DEFEATING SHOUL close
