If War is Not the Answer, what is?

Rep. Lynn Woolsey (CA) provided part of the answer to this question when she reintroduced the Sensible, Multilateral American Response to Terrorism (SMART) security platform (H.Con. Res. 158) in mid-May. The SMART Security resolution already has 49 cosponsors, but FCNL believes we should be able to more than double the number of cosponsors before the end of this year (Last Congress the same resolution had 50 cosponsors at the end of the session).

Urge your representative to cosponsor the SMART Security resolution, or express your thanks if he or she has already signed on as a cosponsor, by following this link: http://capwiz.com/fconl/issues/alert/?alertid=7654136&type=CO

The SMART Security Platform:
prevents future acts of terrorism by strengthening international institutions and respect for the rule of law;
reduces the threat and stops the spread of weapons of mass destruction and reduces the proliferation of conventional weapons;
addresses root causes of terrorism and violent conflict;
shifts U.S. budget priorities to more effectively meet the security needs of the United States; and pursues to the fullest extent alternatives to war.
