National Security

Steve Harrison's approach to national security is guided by three principles:

  1. America must have the strongest military capability and be prepared to secure America both from rogue sovereign states and stateless terrorists in accordance with the following principles:
    • Americans can not enter a conflict or continue it without a clearly defined just and legal rationale, limited by specific objectives.
    • We must have the troop strength and equipment necessary to meet the stated objective and secure the peace.
    • We must maintain our high standing in the international community by respecting the opinions and concerns of our allies and the UN, international treaties and encouraging diplomacy and collaboration without ceding the right to protect America.
    • We must maintain the moral and legal high ground during the conflict. We must never torture or otherwise violate the principles of our own constitution.
  2. We must have secure borders and effective homeland security.
    • All border, port and airport security must be in American hands.
    • We must create and maintain a coherent national civil defense system.
  3. We must have an energy policy that eliminates American dependence on both foreign and domestic oil within a decade.
