Our Foreign Affairs Agenda
We must exhaust all diplomatic solutions before resorting to military action. All too often the unintended consequences of military conflict leave behind remnants of crumbling infrastructure and human lives in need of repair. When legislators fail to properly consider the consequences of their foreign policy decisions, we risk American and foreign lives. We also risk our national security and the balance of power throughout the world. Broken governments and feelings of resentment create breeding grounds for terrorist ideology, broken alliances, and corporate globalization. If we work with our international partners we can end global poverty, while ensuring mutual prosperity and security.
Let’s Dare to Act for:
Emphasizing diplomacy first and making war a last resort
Fair trade agreements rather than corporate trade agreements
Building a peaceful and secure solution for Israel and Palestine
Ending arms sales to authoritarian countries
Working directly with developing countries to increase their self-sufficiency
Strengthen international alliances to ensure mutual security and development
